“Campfire Confessions,” a novel of three Hayward friends coming together

Article by Frank Zufall Staff Reporter
Kristine Ochu shared how growing up in Hayward influenced her life and gave birth to her women’s fiction novel, “Campfire Confessions.” This story about three childhood best friends, Annie, Jo and Sondra, whose lives are spinning out of control captures the power of friendship. When Annie is found unconscious with pills scattered around her, Jo and Sondra rush to her side, determined to find answers and support her. They escape on a canoeing and camping adventure where they relive their childhood friendship, filled with laughter and pranks allowing them to “take their guard” down and open up. The themes of learning how to embrace self-love, let go of past mistakes and discover the power of forgiveness are explored. Kristine also shares her goals in writing this book that’s been described as a “lauigh-out-loud tribute to sisterhood” and “Sex in the Ciry” meets Eat Pray Love.” Please reach out to Kristine for more information.
