Allison Pataki is coming to The Bush Center on May 14! The seventh annual Laura Bush Book Club of the Engage at the Bush Center series, presented by NexPoint, will continue its celebration of storytelling by welcoming acclaimed author Allison Pataki.
Pataki is the New York Times bestselling author of 11 books, including The Traitor’s Wife and The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post, and her latest novel, It Girl, is set to be published in March 2026.
During the conversation, Pataki will share insights into her creative process, the power of historical fiction to illuminate truth, and the stories that continue to shape our understanding of the past – and ourselves. As we mark America’s 250th birthday, Pataki’s work offers a timely reminder of the individuals, ideals, and complexities that have defined our national journey – and the enduring importance of storytelling in shaping our collective memory.
