NWS / TBCAC Author Event

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 7:00 pm at The City Opera House in Traverse City, MI

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley is the two-time Newbery Honor winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of several acclaimed middle grade novels, including The War That Saved My Life and Jefferson’s Sons. On this special evening—a partnership of the National Writers Series and the Traverse Bay Children’s Advocacy Center—we want to focus on Kimberly’s middle school, mega-award winning novel, Fighting Words.

This powerful novel explodes the stigma around child sexual abuse and leavens an intense tale with compassion and humor. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells a story about two sisters, linked by love and trauma, who must find their own voices before they can find their way back to each other.

She will talk with guest host Beth Milligan. The event begins at 7 p.m. and includes a Q&A and author signing. NWS also has virtual tickets available.
