All are welcome to hear her speak, read, and sign her newest book, PAPER GIRL.
This is a memoir of home and family in fractured America — and this acclaimed author’s most personal and powerful reckoning!
“Want to know why America is fractured? Read PAPER GIRL … Heartfelt, intimate and enraging, it is more than a memoir; it’s a manifesto.”
— Geraldine Brooks
PAPER GIRL is a gift of courage, empathy, and insight. Beth Macy has turned to face the darkness in her family and community, people she loves wholeheartedly, even the ones she sometimes struggles to like. And in facing the truth—in person, with respect—she has found sparks of human dignity that she has used to light a signal fire of warning but also of hope.
Beth Macy has won more than two dozen national journalism awards, including a Nieman Fellowship for Journalism at Harvard University, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Dopesick, which was made into a Peabody Award–winning series for Hulu. Three of her books have been New York Times bestsellers. She lives in Roanoke, Virginia.
