Author and Birch Bay resident Karen Rabe will host a presentation for her latest book, “A Glimpse Too Far: Based on a True Story,” 1-3 p.m. Saturday, September 13 at Blaine Public Library.
The book is Rabe’s fourth under her pen name Karen Charles. The 217-page psychological thriller follows Elouise as she struggles with the aftermath of a tragic accident and the uncertainty of who to trust.
Rabe said she used experience from her life as inspiration for the book, which she self-published through BookBaby in June.
“The final chapter mirrors a profoundly personal experience my husband and I went through, though fictionalized in the broader context of the novel,” Rabe said. “We had gone to a summer gathering hosted by our mortgage broker at a beautiful lavender farm, an event that had always been lighthearted and joyful. That year, though, a moment of unexpected mystery changed everything.”
