Appearing at the Sept. 12 Mission Viejo Readers’ Festival – among the more than two dozen authors, illustrators, and entertainers – will be bestselling and critically-acclaimed author Lisa See.
While exploring the heritage of China and of her own family, Lisa See has authored the internationally noted works On Gold Mountain: The One Hundred Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and the current Los Angeles Times bestseller Shanghai Girls. Her books have been translated to over thirty different languages, received numerous awards, and several motion picture studios have purchased their film rights.
Lisa See will be the opening headliner and speaking from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the Sycamore Room of the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center.
This free City event, sponsored by the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library, takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the Village Green and Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center.
In addition to “Bringing Books to Life,” the Mission Viejo Readers’ Festival is serving as a way to support those less fortunate, as representatives of the South Orange County Food Bank will be present to accept donated canned or non-perishable food items.
More information on Lisa See and all of the authors, illustrators, entertainers, and food vendors is available at www.mvreadersfestival.org.
