Amber Sparks with Laura Bogart: HAPPY PEOPLE DON’T LIVE HERE

A novel of neighbors, mothers, and ghosts. A misty garden setting. A book event for spooky season.

Join us in a secret location of the gardens behind the Ivy bookshop to hear from Amber Sparks, author of HAPPY PEOPLE DON’T LIVE HERE, as she discusses this story of long-buried secrets, family–chosen or otherwise–and the sometimes dangerous myths we make to keep ours together.

Laura Bogart, author of DON’T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, will join Amber in conversation.
