Join to celebrate the release of Emma Duffy-Comparone's new collection of stories, Love Like That.  Emma will be in conversation with Jill McCorkle.

A high school English teacher gets pushed to her limits when a student plagiarizes. Often caught between desire and duty, guilt and resentment, these characters discover what it means to get lost in love, and do what it takes to find themselves again.
