Residents of Fullerton are invited to an engaging author talk with local writer Linda Zohman Avellar, who will be showcasing her recently published debut novel, \u201cCassie Linden Finds Her Sweet Spot.\u201d The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 2 to 4 pm at the Main Conference Center Room in the Fullerton Library.<\/p>\n

Avellar\u2019s novel has garnered positive attention, receiving a Kirkus review and praise from notable authors. Kristan Higgins, a New York Times bestselling author, described the book as \u201cwarm, intelligent and steeped with emotion\u2026 a gorgeous debut.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story follows a woman\u2019s journey back to her hometown to care for her aging father, who holds a deep affection for his bees. As she navigates this transition, she employs a beekeeper, leading to unexpected changes in her life. The narrative explores themes of family, resilience, and the healing power of nature, all inspired by Avellar\u2019s own experiences and research into beekeeping.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>As a proud Sunny Hills High School alum, Avellar expresses excitement about returning to her roots for this event. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to speak about my book in my hometown,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s particularly special as my 92-year-old mother, Naomi Zohman, continues to be an active volunteer with the Friends of the Fullerton Public Library.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Friends of the Library are making the event even more enticing by giving away free copies of \u201cCassie Linden Finds Her Sweet Spot\u201d to the first 30 attendees. While registration is encouraged, it is not mandatory for participation in the event.<\/p>\n
