Embracing Imperfect Paths to Wellness & Recovery | Authors Mallary Tenore Tarpley and Amanda Ward
Featuring Author Mallary Tenore Tarpley in Conversation with Amanda Eyre Ward, 7:30pm Resort
In this special book event, local author Mallary Tenore Tarpley will discuss her new memoir, SLIP, with fellow local author Amanda Eyre Ward.

In the middle place, slips happen but progress is always possible.
Mallary, who is a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin and a journalist whose work has been published in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Teen Vogue, and more, will be in conversation with New York Times bestselling novelist Amanda Eyre Ward. The event will include time for Q&A.
Amanda is a New York Times bestselling author. Her novel, The Jetsetters, was a Hello Sunshine Reese Witherspoon book club pick. Her novels have been featured in People Magazine, The New York Times, and more. Amanda publishes nonfiction in Travel + Leisure, The New York Times, Texas Monthly and Bon Appetit.
