PSB: Boston Edition and GrubStreet are delighted to present the latest installment in the Grubbie Debut event series, featuring author Liz Kinchen for her debut novel, Light in Bandaged Places: Healing in the Wake of Young Betrayal! Candace Coakley will join the author in conversation.

When a lonely young girl meets a teacher twice her age, she is seduced into a web of deceit and secrecy-an experience that teaches her that sex in exchange for attention feels like love, even as it destroys her self-worth. Here, Liz Kinchen offers a detailed view of exactly how this abusive experience influenced her adult relationships, and how her eventual healing unfolded.
