UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Author Gilda Evans will be conducting a revisit at Upper Lake High School May 12 to 16.

In conjunction with the English department, current seniors reviewed her manuscript in 2014, the beginnings of her pilot program for teens and parents now called “S'LIFE, Slices of Life for Teens.”

A public event will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 12, in the high school's student center, 675 Clover Valley Road.

“There is a kind of universality about growing up,” said Evans. “S’LIFE, Slice of Life for Teens addresses many of the questions and concerns that frequently arise during this precarious stage, and does it in a manner that is fun and easy to read. The chapters are concise and succinct, and discuss a variety of real-life scenarios that every teen and parent is likely to encounter at one point or another.”

"We started this in part because it's never too early to begin the dialogue with kids and open avenues of communication with them," says Anna Sabalone, teacher at ULHS, concerning the visit she's initiated with Ms. Evans. "We had a lot of great feedback a few years ago, I can't wait to see how it works this year.”

Community members are encouraged to attend to discuss concerns and ask questions of the author about life, the book, and the pilot program.
