Claire Fraise will present an author reading and signing. Fraise began her undergraduate studies as a creative writing major at Kenyon College, where she got the idea for her supernatural thriller series, "They Stay." "They Return," the third book in the series, follows the mystery of a missing kid, a girl who sees ghosts and a horrifying crime only four outcasts have the power to stop. Set in small-town Ohio, the real horrors for these kids are domestic abuse, addiction, foster care and absent parents — not the ghosts they meet. A portion of the book sales will be donated to New Directions Treatment Center in Ohio.
