The final May event at Garcia Street Books, occurs with a book launch and reading on Wednesday, May 28 from 5:00 - 6:00 pm when, DeLaune Michel will appear to discuss her second novel, The Safety of Secrets. The author, who was raised in South Louisiana and now lives in Westchester County, NY, continues in the literary tradition of her uncle, Andre Dubus, (In The Bedroom); and her cousin, James Lee Burke, bestselling mystery author. The novel, based on DeLaune's experiences when she lived in Los Angeles, casts a light onto that unofficial Hollywood caste system that is not talked about much, namely friends who fare differently and who land at different squares of the game board of success. The presentation by this former model, actress, award-winning author, impresario, and advocate of children at risk, promises to be of great interest to Santa Fe readers.
