The Authors at the Pope Series finishes up 2025 with debut author LAURA KNOY. You know that name because she spent 25 years as the host of New Hampshire Public Radio’s live, daily news and public affairs call-in show The Exchange, interviewing thousands of inspiring, wonderful people. In 2021, she left NHPR to work for herself and, in addition to special interviews and other projects, she wrote her book!About the book: One unstoppable woman. Two World Wars. Based on a True Story.
Eighty years after the end of WWII comes a unique story: The Shopkeeper of Alsace. Its star: Sarah Seibert, a businesswoman, mother, and wife, whose girlhood during WWI in Poland means she’s more than prepared for this second global conflict. Or so she thinks…
Unfolding in exceptional settings, uncovering forgotten history, The Shopkeeper of Alsace is an intimate immigrant family story alongside a wider tale: of a once-proud nation, its downfall, and the brave, decent people who save it.
We hope you will join us for this final big event of the year and celebrate the release of Laura Knoy's debit novel!
No tickets are required for this event, but we expect a full house, so an RSVP is necessary to reserve your seat. Please RSVP at whitebirchbooks.com/events. We will have books available at the event, and at the store beforehand. Please do not bring books purchased elsewhere. Knoy will be happy to sign after his talk.
