SUMMARY:Erin Van Rheenen Brings YOU COULD BE HAPPY HERE to Book Passage
DESCRIPTION:Join Erin Van Rheenen, author of new novel You Could Be Happy Here, at Book Passage on October 12th at 1pm, alongside author Jeff Greenwald to celebrate and discuss her new novel.\nBooks will be available to purchase at the event.\nFor more information, please visit Book Passage’s events page here.\nAbout You Could Be Happy Here:\nHow far would you go to find your true home?\nLucy—single, childless, in her thirties—studies insects and ecosystems, in part to make sense of human behavior. That hard-won insight is shattered when her mother dies prematurely, her sister claims the California family home, and Lucy learns that her biological father is apparently a Costa Rican they knew when the family spent summers in the coastal village of Palmita.\nReeling, Lucy heads south in search of this phantom father. But he is nowhere to be found, and none of the locals seem to remember her. The dreamy, off-grid paradise she recalls from childhood has become a hard-edged town leery of outsiders. Is Lucy an interloper, too? Or can she find a way to belong—rethink her place in the world and expand her notion of kinship and home?\nAbout Erin Van Rheenen:\nErin Van Rheenen writes fiction and nonfiction that explores family dynamics, cultural difference, and the power of place. Her work has been anthologized and published in Bellevue Literary Review, Atlas Obscura, BBC Travel, Fiction, The Sun, and Best Women’s Travel Writing. After earning a BA from UC Santa Cruz and a Masters from City University of New York, she left the US to see the world. She ended up in Costa Rica, where she lived for several years, soaking up the green and researching her relocation guide, Living Abroad in Costa Rica and her children’s book, The Manatee’s Big Day. For ten years she was Senior Writer at The Exploratorium, a science museum. Erin now lives in San Francisco.\n
