Jessica will be in conversation with Cece as she reads from The Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards. Part memoir, part survival guide—this book takes a sharp, unflinching look at grief, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild when life knocks you flat. Jessica’s debut was a Globe 100 Best Book of 2024, a Washington Post Notable Book, and an instant national bestseller, earning Jessica a 2024 Doris Anderson Award from Châtelaine Magazine. Come for the laughs, the truths, and the company of others who may raise eyebrows at the audacity of this story.
Jessica will be in conversation with Cece Scott and YOU!
