Event Details
Wilton Library is pleased and honored to present the first adult author in the ASML Author Series, which will introduce three high-profile authors per year whose work will encourage the Library’s vision of a welcoming, engaged and diverse community. For this launch, we are excited to present New York Times bestselling author Mitch Albom, who is best known for his beloved stories of inspiration, on Wednesday, October 29, at 7 p.m. To register, please sign up here.
What if you got to do everything in your life —twice? The heart of Mitch Albom’s newest novel - Twice - is a stunning love story that dares to explore how our unchecked desires might mean losing what we’ve had all along.
Albom takes readers on an unforgettable emotional journey through the life-defining choices we make and our fantasies about changing them. Twice is a poignant tale that will leave readers thinking about love, choices, and redemption from beginning to end.
“Think of Mitch Albom as the Babe Ruth of popular literature, hitting the ball out of the park every time he’s at bat.” — Time
Mitch Albom is the author of numerous books of fiction and nonfiction, which have collectively sold forty-two million copies in forty-eight languages worldwide. He has written eight number-one New York Times bestsellers—including Tuesdays with Morrie, the bestselling memoir of all time—award-winning television films, stage plays, screenplays, a nationally syndicated newspaper column, and a musical. Through his work at the Detroit Free Press, he was inducted into both the National Sports Media Association and Michigan Sports halls of fame and is the recipient of the 2010 Red Smith Award for lifetime achievement. He founded the nonprofit SAY Detroit, which provides pathways to success for Detroiters in need through major health, housing and education initiatives. He also founded a dessert shop and a gourmet popcorn line to help fund it. Albom operates Have Faith Haiti, a home and school for impoverished children and orphans in Port-au-Prince, which he visits monthly. He lives with his wife, Janine, in Michigan.
The ASML Author Series is sponsored by ASML.
The first 400 people to register for and attend this event will receive a complimentary copy of Twice, which Mitch Albom will sign.
Elm Street Books will also be on site to sell additional copies of Twice. The library receives a portion of the proceeds from these sales.
