Meet author Rebecca Van Der Jagt, author and 2008 graduate of Warwick Valley High School. Her book Sold Everywhere But Borders details the liquidation of one Borders store located in Ramsey, New Jersey. The story is told through the creative efforts of over ten employees and compiled by the unlikely narrator, Becca, who had only been working there for a little over a month before they heard the news. As the staff of Ramsey Borders trudge through the liquidation process with confidence and humor they learn that there is one thing that keeps them coming into work everyday: each other.
