14-Year-Old Plainfield Author Featured on WGN

Ravina Thakkar's new book, "The Adventure of a Lifetime," gets wider attention.

Born nearly two months premature and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, there were days Ravina Thakkar's mom wasn't sure her daughter would survive that first year. Now, at 14, the Plainfield girl is a published author. She was featured on WGN TV this week. 

Tuesday, Dec. 3, was Ravina Thakkar Day in Plainfield, as decreed by the mayor. Learn more about her book, "The Adventure of a Lifetime," in a story published on Plainfield Patch last month.
