Lunch with Local Author Michael McMullen

Thursday, June 19 at 12:00 p.m.
"Leaving Lisa"

About the Book
Wittily expressed from all four of their perspectives, Leaving Lisa follows the over-lapping stories of four habitués of GoHo’s as they face major turning points in their lives, each one leaving something behind to gain a new, as yet murky, future. Their increasingly entwined journeys will open up wildly different horizons than those that confronted them at the beginning, and none of them will ever be the same again. With wickedly sharp dialogue; sizzlingly sexy encounters; deep emotional insight; sharply defined characters; and a beating heart underscoring it all, Leaving Lisa explores dark emotional issues by way of a clever comedic touch.
