Sydney Rende presents I Could Be Famous, with Naomi Xu Elegant

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Sydney Rende to celebrate and discuss her new book, I Could Be Famous; a debut story collection following ten ambitious women and one male superstar as they pursue their desires—however deluded—for more.
