Larkin on the Shore ft. Jean Mills
Today we welcome Ontario-based author, Jean Mills, to the Launch Pod. Her latest YA novel, Larkin on the Shore, was released in January 2020, just before the pandemic lockdown. Here’s a description of her novel:
Larkin Day is a messed up 16-year-old. She just escaped a nasty year in high school to spend a summer of refuge in seaside Nova Scotia. It’s here she learns that the best way to heal is to give in to something greater than yourself. But when an arsonist attempts to destroy that one thing she holds dear, Larkin is forced to figure out a way to expose the criminal while keeping her life from coming off the rails.
