Author Event - Faith Harkey with Sneak Thief

Presented by Midtown Reader at Midtown Reader

"Faith Harkey finds her inspiration on the back roads of America. From small towns in the heartland to footpaths deep in the mountains, she is drawn to places that remind us we are all together part of something larger. When she isn’t on the road in search of Story, she recharges her batteries in Tallahassee, Florida."

Faith's first novel, Genuine Sweet, was a heartwarming story of a girl who could grant any wishes - except her own. On March 13th Harkey will be publishing her second novel, Sneak Thief. 

"Thanks to her sneak-thieving skills, Hush Cantrell can fend for herself. Which is a good thing, since her mom is definitely the last person she can count on.

Hush’s life is a little thorny, but when her new friend Desiree enters the picture, things start looking up. That is, until her luck runs out and Hush is finally caught “borrowing.” Now she has to turn over a new leaf: her only alternative to the dreaded “juvie” is a job at Miz Tromp’s nursery.

Among the seeds and weeds, Hush learns, for the first time, how to make good things grow. But soon she gets more than she bargained for — because life in tiny Sass, Georgia, has its own peculiar bloom. When Hush discovers she can see the troubles that other people can’t, she’s faced with pulling off the biggest sneak of all. Does she have what it takes to stare down her pain and claim her own magic? Or will she just make things worse for herself and everybody in town?

With an appealing Southern voice and a hint of magic realism, Sneak Thief is a funny and life-affirming story of one girl lost — and found."

Harkey will be reading and signing books at Midtown Reader at 6 PM, but will be available for readings at local schools as well. Please contact Midtown Reader's authors-in-schools program coordinator, Jill Hart, to schedule a reading at your school! jill@midtownreader.com
