THE BOOK:

Kristina Denton spent a year as a technician at a men's sexual health clinic in Los Angeles. What she found wasn't what she expected.

Behind every patient was a story — about shame, silence, and the weight men carry when they're never taught to put it down. And running underneath all of it was a more personal story: her father died of cancer that same year, and she was only just beginning to understand him.

You Don't Know Dick is funny. It is also going to wreck you a little. In the best way.

Published by Storyteller Publishing. Distributed by Macmillan.

THE NIGHT:

One of Hollister's own just got a book deal with one of the biggest publishers in the world and we are celebrating with Hollister's first independent bookstore in over 20 years!

Come for the book. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something you didn't know you needed.
