We are delighted to be hosting home-town favorite and NYT best-selling author Marie Benedict yet again! Due to an overwhelming response, we have moved this event to the Conference Center at LaRoche University

You've packed the house before for Pittsburgh's own Marie Benedict. Come pack it again!

New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict is joining here, in her hometown of Pittsburgh, once again to celebrate the release of the latest book in her series of novels uncovering the lives of over-looked women in history. Her previous titles, including Carnegie's Maid and The Personal Librarian, have been bestsellers both for us here at Riverstone Books and nationally. We can't wait to learn about the latest historical figure she's brought to life: Rosalind Frank, the brilliant British scientist who discovered the structure of DNA but whose research was used without her permission by Crick and Watson to win the Nobel Prize.

If you've read Marie's previous books you know how vividly and emotionally she writes about these forgotten figures, and you won't want to miss her this time around. If you haven't, take our word for it, and come find out for yourself!

RSVP on eventbrite

For Covid safety we won't have our customary signing line. Marie is still happy to personalize your books, though! If you pre-order a book in person, over the phone, or online, simply let us know who you'd like it inscribed to. If you've already purchased a copy of Her Hidden Genius (or another Marie Benedict book) that you'd like Marie to sign, we've arranged for her to spend time signing those books ahead of the event as well. Simply drop your book off at either Riverstone Books location by Wednesday, February 16 and we'll have them signed and ready for you to pick up at the event. Be sure to include a note with details of your inscription.
