Tom Mendicino will read from and sign copies of his debut novel, Probation.  After being arrested for solicitation in a public rest room on Interstate 85 in North Carolina, Andy Nocera is placed on probation.  Subsequently, he is thrown out by his wife and fired by his father-in-law, leaving him no other option but to take refuge at his mother’s house, where no questions are asked.  Mendicino has crafted a novel that is part coming-out story and part family chronicle, as Andy struggles to find acceptance, redemption, and true love.
