Join bestseller Greg Archer for a captivating discussion about forgotten histories and his Polish family's uplifting WW2 survival story.
About this Event

What happens when we honor family legacies that history tried to erase? Hollywood reporter/author Greg Archer draws from his acclaimed memoir, "Grace Revealed," to show how embracing the stories of past generations can shine light into our present. This moving talk reveals how reclaiming forgotten histories—once buried by war and oppression—can guide us toward hope, strength, and connection across time. The author will address his Polish family's amazing survival story during WW2. In the early 1940s, the Migut Family was among the 1.5 million Polish people deported by Stalin in what became one of the most overlooked parts of history. Readers call the book "heartwarming, hopeful, uplifting and surprisngly upbeat."

Author talk and Q&A, and light refreshings are part of the program.

Books available from author. For questions, email the host through the wesbite www.gregarcher.com.
