Jodi Picoult Returns to Des Moines

Jodi Picoult, bestselling author and vocal advocate for free speech in literature, is returning to Des Moines this September for a special event to promote her thirtieth novel, Hollow Bones. This isn’t her first visit — she was here earlier this year — but this time, her return carries deeper significance: she played a key role in the legal battle against Iowa’s book bans last year. The event, hosted by Beaverdale Books at the Franklin Center on September 23rd, includes a pre-signed copy of her new book, a photo op, and an intimate evening with the acclaimed writer known for hits like My Sister’s Keeper. Doors open at 5:30 PM, with the event running until 9 PM — a rare chance to meet the author behind the powerful stories and activism.
