We are looking forward to hosting award-winning journalist (and Wilmette native) Meg Kissinger as she discusses her new book, While You Were Out, with author Christie Tate! While You Were Out is a searing memoir of a family besieged by mental illness, as well as an incisive exploration of the systems that failed them and a testament to the love that sustained them. Powerful, candid and filled with surprising humor, this is the story of one family’s love and resilience in face of great loss. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Wilmette Public Library and is free with registration. Space is limited. Register here.
