Join National Book Award-winner Colum McCann along with Diane Foley on Tuesday, April 9 for a one-of-a-kind virtual conversation focused on their new book, American Mother, the story of a mother who, in the course of confronting her son’s killer, gets to the elemental heart of violence and forgiveness.
Seven years after her son Jim, a freelance journalist, was captured and beheaded by ISIS in 2014, Foley had the chance to spend three days with her son’s murderer in a Virginia courthouse, inspiring her to tell her life story. What unfolds is one of the most compelling narratives in recent literary history, channeled into searing reality by New York Times bestselling author Colum McCann, who takes readers on a journey of strength, resilience, and radical empathy.
The hour-long event begins at 2:00pm and you can register at the link below.
