Thursday, October 29, 12:00pm PT/3:00pm ET • Virtual Event

Back by popular demand (and just when we need it most), good friends Anne Lamott and Janine Urbaniak Reid will be talking about what they’ve learned in Covid College and how they manage to get through when what’s happening can’t be happening. Anne will read an excerpt from her upcoming book Dusk, Night, Dawn and Janine will read from The Opposite of Certainty. RSVP above and tune in on Anne Lamott’s Facebook Page at noon on October 29!

Anne Lamott is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Almost Everything; Hallelujah Anyway; Small Victories; Stitches; Help, Thanks, Wow; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; and Traveling Mercies; as well as several novels. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame, she lives in Northern California.

Janine Urbaniak Reid writes about her imperfect life, what connects us, and addresses the question of what it means to love fiercely in a sometimes dangerous and always uncertain world. She has been published in the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, and widely syndicated. Hoping to bring humanity into the healthcare discussion by sharing her experience as a mother of son with a brain tumor, she penned a piece for the Post which went viral. She has been interviewed on national news networks, and continues her work as a spokeswoman for healthcare justice. She graduated from the University of California at San Diego and was vice president of a San Francisco public relations firm before she began raising a family, and then writing full time. She lives in Northern California with her family and a motley assortment of pets. She attends St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Marin City: all are welcome.
