Local New York Times Best Selling Author Returning To Main Line

A Main Line native who has been featured on the New York Times Best Seller list several times is coming back to area next month as part of the launch of her new book.

Kelly Corrigan, Radnor High School Class of 1985, will be in Wayne in Thursday, Jan. 11 at the Saturday Club promoting her new book, "TELL ME MORE: Stories About the 12 Hardest Things I’m Learning to Say."

The event begins at 8:30 a.m. and costs $45 to attend. All those who attend will get a signed copy of "TELL ME MORE."

All proceeds benefit the Radnor High School Scholarship Fund.

Light refreshments will be served and space is limited.

Check out this description of "TELL ME MORE," courtesy of Radnor Township School District:

"TELL ME MORE" is a funny, meaningful, and touching exploration of the 12 sentences that life requires as well as an ode to the fact that we are all works-in-progress. With Corrigan's signature candor and good will, each chapter draws from her sometimes ridiculous, sometimes profound struggles with parenting and marriage, career and friendship, illness, aging and mortality. In "I Don’t Know," Corrigan wrestles to make peace from uncertainty; in "Tell Me More," she tries to master the art of shutting up and listening; in "I Was Wrong," she comes clean about her disastrous role in an epic family argument; and in "No," she admires her mother’s ability to set boundaries and her willingness to be unpopular. Ultimately, "TELL ME MORE" is an argument for the power of the right words at the right moment to change everything.

Corrigan's previous books – "The Middle Place," "Lift," and "Glitter and Glue" – have all landed on the New York Times Best Seller list.

Reservations may be made via Paypal on the RHSSF website or by sending a check – made payable to "Radnor High School Scholarship Fund" – to P.O. Box 8244, Radnor, PA 19087.
