Five years after the success of her first book, award-winning and best-selling author Grace Wethor returns with her second book and first published work of fiction. The actress and director’s new book will be a coming-of-age story that follows a 17-year-old boy named Seven Thompson.

Wethor’s first book, You’re So Lucky, followed the real-life story of her brain tumor journey. Wethor has said, “Although this new book is a work of fiction, I feel as if it encapsulates many of the lessons I’ve learned and pieces of the perspective I’ve gained while living with this illness the past eight years. It’s a story of learning how to view the world without a preconceived context of good or bad and finding beauty in the mundane.”

In 2007 New England, Seven Thompson & The Art of Remembering follows 17-year-old Seven Thompson as he navigates the aftermath of a traumatic event that takes all of his personal memories. With the help of his girlfriend, Lucy, he sets out to complete a list of seven adventures in hopes of sparking his memory of that night and before.

Seven Thompson & The Art of Remembering is available worldwide at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and independent retailers.
