We Would Never with Tova Mirvis

Tuesday, November 18, 11 A.M. - 12 P.M.

An OC Jewish Arts Festival event In partnership with Books & Bagels
Discussion led by Dana Susson, Esq.
 
No one is more surprised than Hailey Gelman when she comes under suspicion for the murder of her soon-to-be ex-husband Jonah. 

In the middle of a bitter divorce and a high-stakes custody battle over their daughter, Hailey had every reason to want distance. Now, she’s caught in a storm of accusations, secrets, and simmering family tensions. As the legal fight intensifies, Hailey’s close-knit family is pulled into the conflict. Bound by fierce e and complicated histories, they are all forced to consider just how far they will go for each other.

Inspired by a true story, We Would Never is a gripping mystery, an intimate family drama, and a provocative exploration of loyalty, betrayal, and the blurred line between protecting and forsaking the ones we love most.

A riveting literary page-turner that explores the extremes to which a family will go to protect their own--for fans of Miranda Cowley Heller and Laura Dave.
