AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: ANN BRASHARES

You may know Ann Brashares from her bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, but she has also written stand alone novels.  Her most recent work, The Here and Now, was just released this year.

The Here and Now tells the story of Prenna James, who immigrated to New York when she was 12.  However, she did not come from another country, but from another time.  She is from a future where an illness has killed millions.  Prenna and the others who escaped must follow a strict set of rules: don't reveal where you are from, don't interfere with history, and don't be intimate with anyone outside of your community.  This is not a problem for Prenna until she falls for Ethan Jarves...
