✨BOOK SIGNING✨ On July 9, we're excited to host Brad Ryan, the author of Grandma Joy and Me: A Journey of Healing, One National Park at a Time, in conversation with Coordinator Drew Herget. Bonus: Grandma Joy will join Brad at this event!

Tickets are $35 and include admission to the event, light refreshments, and one copy of Grandma Joy and Me. Available now on our website!

This memoir celebrates the power of intergenerational connection and the healing that can happen when we choose to travel through life together. What began as a weekend road trip with Brad's 85-year-old grandmother grew into an epic journey to all 63 U.S. National Parks - and a reckoning with generations of unspoken pain, personal loss, and years lost to estrangement. Brad and Joy's story became a viral sensation and has been featured by ABC World News Tonight, CNN International, NPR, People, The Washington Post, BBC World News, Reader’s Digest, and more.

If you're not able to attend but would like a signed copy of Grandma Joy and Me, order yours online! Signed copies will be available after the event for pick-up or shipping.

Happy Whistler Day! We have signed copies of Ann Patchett’s newest novel ❤️

“When Daphne Fuller and her husband visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they notice an older gentleman following them. The man turns out to be Eddie Triplett, her former stepfather, who had been married to her mother for a little more than year when Daphne was nine. Now fifty-three, Daphne hasn’t seen Eddie for many years, not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives. While their relationship was brief, it had a profound impact on them both, and now that they are reunited, they have no intention of ever being separated again.”
