Author of The Wild Beneath
What does it take to write a debut novel that catches the attention of Reese Witherspoon? Meet Kelly Anderson, whose first novel, The Wild Beneath, was selected as a Reese’s Book Club Pick.
A spellbinding story of love, loss, and belonging, The Wild Beneath follows a young woman whose life is shattered by a tsunami and whose mysterious connection with a stranger leads her to question everything she knows about herself.
Hear Anderson share her journey to publication, the inspiration behind her novel, and what it means to have her debut chosen for one of the world's most influential book clubs.
A Different Drummer Books will be on-site with books for sale and signing after the talk.
Presented in collaboration with HarperCollins Canada
