Book Signing: Kat Spears - Sway

In Kat Spears’s hilarious and
often poignant debut, high school senior Jesse Alderman, or "Sway,"
as he’s known, could sell hell to a bishop. He also specializes in getting
things people want---term papers, a date with the prom queen, fake IDs. He has
few close friends and he never EVER lets emotions get in the way. For Jesse,
life is simply a series of business transactions.

But when Ken Foster, captain
of the football team, leading candidate for homecoming king, and all-around
jerk, hires Jesse to help him win the heart of the angelic Bridget Smalley,
Jesse finds himself feeling all sorts of things. While following Bridget and
learning the intimate details of her life, he falls helplessly in love for the
very first time. He also finds himself in an accidental friendship with
Bridget’s belligerent and self-pitying younger brother who has cerebral palsy.
Suddenly, Jesse is visiting old folks at a nursing home in order to run into Bridget,
and offering his time to help the less fortunate, all the while developing a
bond with this young man who idolizes him. Could the tin man really have a
heart after all?
