About this Event

New York Times best-selling ghostwriter Samantha Rose steps out of the shadows to unravel the mystery surrounding her mother’s suicide. We'll be celebrating her memoir detailing this emotionally harrowing journey, Giving up the Ghost. Get ready for a tell-all evening in conversation with Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play.

Books will be available for purchase at the event, or you can order yours to read ahead .

About Giving up the Ghost:

What begins as a solitary journey of grief shifts form when her mother emerges from the darkness beyond to reconcile her irreversible choice. Raw, resilient, and with surprising humor, Giving Up the Ghost explores the layered complexity of mental health, the love between mothers and daughters and how, in the aftermath of inconceivable loss, we can release our inner ghosts and write a new story for ourselves.


About Samantha Rose:

Samantha Rose is an Emmy award-winning television producer and a New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling ghostwriter of nearly twenty titles, some that have been selected as Reese’s Book Club and Target Bookmarked Picks. Giving Up the Ghost: A Daughter’s Memoir is the first title written under her own name, and was awarded “Best Memoir” at the 2025 San Francisco Book Festival, shortlisted for the Gilda Story Circle award and is an INDIE Finalist book of the year. She is the principal of Yellow Sky Media, an editorial agency in Petaluma, California, where she lives with her son.


About Eve Rodsky:

Eve Rodsky transformed a “blueberries breakdown” into a catalyst for social change when she applied her Harvard trained background in organizational management to ask the simple yet profound question: What would happen if we treated our homes as our most important organizations? Her New York Times bestselling book and Reese’s Book Club Pick, , a gamified life-management system that helps partners rebalance their domestic workload and reimagine their relationship, has elevated the cultural conversation about the value of unpaid labor and care. In her highly anticipated follow-up, , Rodsky explores the cross-section between the science of creativity, productivity, and resilience.
