‘Pancake’ Party!

This past Monday, author Robin Epstein marked the release of her latest book, God Is in the Pancakes (Dial, May) with a party at HiFi Bar in New York City’s East Village (pancakes were not on hand, but as seen here, cupcakes were). The novel is Epstein’s first for teens; she’s also written the middle-grade Groovy Girls series as well as coauthored a pair of adult titles. God Is in the Pancakes centers on a high school sophomore whose world is shaken when a terminally ill resident at the nursing home where she works asks her to help him die.
