Author! Author!
Monday, August 11 was a wonderful day for author Jane Berentson and those who love her. Jane, a 2000 graduate of Burlington-Edison High School, had her first book published in May. “Miss Harper Can Do It” is the story of a young schoolteacher in Tacoma struggling with her “new life” as her boyfriend serves in the military in the Middle East. Jane and her audience had fun Monday evening as she presided over a book reading and signing event at the Burlington Public Library. Among those present were mom and dad, Susan and Dan Berentson, plus lots of other relatives, friends … even old schoolteachers! Jane now makes her home in New York, where her career has included stints in the publishing business and public schools (middle school teacher). A second book is in the works.
