- **Event Description**: “It’s really a whole new feeling when you realize you’re in charge of your life, your thoughts, and your actions—or inaction.”
― Kaira Rouda, Here, Home, Hope

USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda wrote her first novel Here, Home, Hope following a conversation about her work of nonfiction that inspired her to pursue writing novels, a dream she had held since she was a child. Since then, she has shifted to write gripping psychological thrillers, pushing her characters to uncover each other’s darkest secrets.

As Rouda returns with We Were Never Friends, we invite you to join us for a very special book pre-launch event to discuss this thrilling exploration of how the past influences the present, as the sorority sisters of Theta Gamma Mu realize nothing stays buried forever. Join Kaira in conversation with her husband, former U.S. Congressman Harley Rouda.
