WESTERVILLE, Ohio (WDTN) — Westerville author Brieanna Wilkoff's debut young adult novel, I'll Be There for You, will be published this October. Wilkoff believes wholeheartedly in the power of kindness, the importance of theatre, and the awesomeness of '80s rock. I'll Be There for You was inspired by her family's commitment to kindness, including performing 100 kind acts in a single day, according to a release. I'll Be There for You follows 16-year-old Rae, who struggles to move on after the death of her father — a devoted fan of Bon Jovi and other '80s rockers.
