2 Modesto authors to appear at local bookstore

Two Modesto authors will appear at the Barnes & Noble bookstore on McHenry Avenue on Saturday.

Paula Treick DeBoard will read from her second novel, “The Fragile World,” beginning at 5 p.m. The author also will sign copies of the book, just released by Harlequin. “The Fragile World” explores a family’s dark moments after the death of a child and its journey into healing.

DeBoard’s debut novel, “The Mourning Hours,” was published in 2013.

Ken White will sign copies of his “Getaway Day” from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday. The novel incorporates the time when rain in San Francisco brought the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants to work out in Modesto during the 1962 World Series.
