The mother of pop sensation Justin Bieber, who is on a book-signing tour, is slated to be at The Palm Beach Book Store from 6 to 7:30 p.m. July 12.


Pattie Mallette will be signing the teen edition of her memoir Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom (Baker Publishing’s Revell Books, $14.99), co-written with A.J Gregory. But copies of the adult edition of her book (Baker Publishing Group, $21.99) also will be available.


Mallette reveals that her life has been filled with grace and hope despite dealing with abandonment issues, depression, sexual abuse and teen pregnancy.


“I’ve always had a heart for young people, and I’m so excited to be able to share my story to teenagers in an age appropriate way to bring hope and inspiration,” she says.


In addition to being an author, Mallette is a film producer and founder of Round 2 Foundation, which provides “assistance and resources to those in distress.”


The book store is at 215 Royal Poinciana Way. For more information, call 659-6700.
