[Lafayette, LA] Laurie Jankower James, the new author of About Faces™, was honored at an exclusive book signing event earlier this month at the home of Bob and Jennifer Marlin. Fans and literary enthusiasts had the unique opportunity to visit with the author, purchase signed copies of the book, and engage in personal discussions about the themes and inspirations behind About Faces™, which was inspired by the author’s late father, Mervine Jankower, who always dreamed of writing a book.

About Faces™ dances through the patchwork of James’ journey, stitching together a colorful tapestry of experiences. From the heart-pounding energy of professional and college athletes to the sage wisdom of a speech and debate guru to the soul-stirring and vulnerable lyrics of Kris Kristofferson to the unexpected political rise of Ronald Reagan, the book is told from her point of view, celebrating a whirlwind of influences.

Each chapter title includes some version of “Face” to keep the reader’s attention and continue the recurring theme throughout the self-help and inspiration book. James shares challenges and positive stories about entrepreneurship, prejudice, community outreach, and reaching for the stars.

Since its release in April of this year, About Faces™ has garnered consistent praise from readers and those who guided James on her journey.

"I'm thrilled to connect with readers in such an intimate setting," said James. "Hearing how the story has resonated with people and having meaningful conversations about the book’s journey is something I truly cherish."
