Hewitt-Trussville High School freshman Lacey Beasley will sign copies of her book, “The Forgiven,” Sunday at the Trussville Public Library.
The signing will be from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Beasley’s book is about 17-year-old Alice Blain having a tough decision to make. Will she stay with her bad-boy boyfriend, Owen, or date his best friend, Collins, instead? Before she has a chance to make up her mind, her mom ships her off to Florida to stay with her dad, and she has to say goodbye to them both for the summer.

But Florida is not without its adventures. Alice soon meets Dylan, a mysterious Southern boy, who completely turns her world upside down. Together, they uncover the secrets of Alice’s past, forcing Alice to discover who she is, who she loves, and more importantly, where she belongs. But when the people she loves are in danger, will Alice find a way to put together the pieces of her shattered life?
“I would say the main theme of my book would have to be about relationships — friendships, family relationships or love relationships,” Beasley said. “There is some adventure in my book, and some laughs and giggles, depending on your sense of humor.”
Beasley began writing the book in December 2011 and finished it in August 2012. She was signed by Tate Publishing in December 2012.
