Book Launch for Matthew Norman with Leslie Gray Streeter: GRACE & HENRY'S HOLIDAY MOVIE MARATHON

Do you love cozy nights in, holiday movies, and second chances? Have we got the novel for you. We can’t wait to launch Matthew Norman’s latest into the world: Grace & Henry’s Holiday Movie Marathon, to warm your heart right before the weather starts to cool.

The author of Charm City Rocks, All Together Now, and more, brings us a sentimental advertising creative and a blunt, no-nonsense bar owner who find love while binge-watching iconic holiday movies. We’ll fall in love with these characters in turn.

We’re so thrilled that Leslie Gray Streeter, author of Family and Other Calamities and Black Widow, and artisan of writing about grief with humor and heart, will join Matt in conversation. We hope you can join us, too!

Matthew Norman lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with his wife and two children and holds an MFA from George Mason University. His previous novels include Charm City Rocks, All Together Now, Last Couple Standing, We’re All Damaged, and Domestic Violets.

Leslie Gray Streeter is an award-winning journalist and columnist for the Baltimore Banner. She is the author of the memoir Black Widow: A Sad-Funny Journey Through Grief for People Who Normally Avoid Books with Words Like “Journey” in the Title, the cohost of the podcast Fine Beats and Cheeses, and a frequent speaker on grief. She is also a slow runner, an amateur vegan cook, and a fan of Law & Order. Leslie lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with her son, Brooks. For more information, visit www.lesliegraystreeter.com.
