About this event

Catherine will be in conversation with Cate Lineberry and will sign books after the program. Tickets include a paperback copy of "Wreck", guaranteed entry to the event, and a seat in the reserved section. The acclaimed bestselling author of "Sandwich" is back with a wonderful novel, full of laughter and heart, about marriage, family, and what happens when life doesn't go as planned. Rocky, still anxious, nostalgic, and funny, is living in Western Massachusetts with her husband Nick and their daughter Willa, who's back home after college. Their son, Jamie, has taken a new job in New York, and Mort, Rocky's widowed father, has moved in. With her signature wit and wisdom, Catherine Newman explores the hidden rules of family, the heavy weight of uncertainty, and the gnarly fact that people—no matter how much you love them—are not always exactly who you want them to be.
