IWV Campus
Author Book Signing
April 29, 2008
The Cerro Coso Community College Bookstore will be hosting a special
appearance by author, Jennifer Claire on Thursday, May 15, 2008 from 2 to 4
p.m. Refreshments will be served. Jennifer is the great
niece of one of the famous Untouchables who brought down Al Capone, and she
grew up in Ridgecrest in a family comprised of secrets.
In her first book Secrets of a Nigh Nigh Jennifer shares personal
and family secrets with the intent of showing that everyone has a divine
purpose, regardless of the family they are born into. Jennifer is a
graduate of Cerro Coso Community College and will be Cerro Coso's
Distinguished Alumni Speaker at this year's commencement ceremonies on
Friday, May 16, 2008.
"Everyone has a story. Our stories involve our families and friends,
our trials and joys. I believe it is important to inspire others, and
in that encouragement and mentorship, we give what we have been richly
given." The purpose behind her book is not to hurt or harm anyone, but
to encourage others through her life experiences. "My hope
is that my story and all who are parts of it will somehow, someway, inspire
especially, under-privileged and single parents to return to school and get
educated. I will give back what I have so richly been given: My
Purpose!" states Jennifer.
The community is encouraged to attend. Jennifer's books are available
now at the College Bookstore for $14.95 plus tax. Proceeds beyond
costs will start an educational scholarship at the college.
