Open Book / Open Mind, Amanda Hess, "Second Life"

Don't miss another great author conversation!

Join New York Times journalists Amanda Hess and Sasha Weiss to hear more about Hess's debut book, "Second Life: Having a Child in the Digital Age." Register now at tinyurl.com/OBOMHess

When Hess learned that the baby she was carrying might have a birth defect, naturally she went online, spiraling down digital rabbit holes she never wanted to know existed. Follow her through the first three months of her son’s life and find out about the choices she made.

The event is co-presented by 1in6Support.

Doors open at 6 p.m. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book sales and signing with Watchung Booksellers.

“Hess trains her critic’s eye on her own life, probing both the effect of the internet on maternal guilt and anxiety (a nearly universal condition) and the more specific challenges of her own motherhood journey.…Smart, funny, and filled with love.”—The Boston Globe
