Local writer Jean Youkers to sign books Oct. 23

October 19, 2021

Jean Youkers will sign copies of her debut novel, “Lunch Bucket Lists,” from 12 to 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 23, at Browseabout Books, 133 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach.

“Lunch Bucket Lists” explores themes of honesty, vulnerability and forgiveness among friends.

Laura, Elizabeth, Clarissa, and Orchid love living full time in the Rehoboth Beach area where they meet each week and discuss their lives and goals, creating their bucket lists at lunch. All are talented and mature women whose strengths see them through the muck that results when their respective foibles collide – secrets, lies, unexpected romances and even a bit of shoplifting. Laura’s charming new women’s shop called Interlude, a missing necklace and an interfering mother with a psychic consultant add more challenges and excitement for the four.

The Atlantic Ocean provides a backdrop of stability as the women progress toward their bucket-list goals and maintain their supportive alliance. Their adventures take place amid familiar scenes on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and beyond. As in real life, serious and humorous situations are intertwined, to be enjoyed or endured with good friends.

Youkers writes fiction, humorous nonfiction and poetry. Her stories have appeared in the Rehoboth Beach Reads contest series, Delaware Beach Life magazine, The Broadkill Review and Dash Literary Journal. She is an enthusiastic student and sometime instructor at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

Youkers is a Delaware resident whose mission is to promote humor and optimism.
