“It Won’t Always Be Like This” Author Talk with Malaka Gharib & Hannah Bae

This is an online program. Join the 53rd Street Library for a conversation with Malaka Gharib, the award-winning author of I Was Their American Dream, to discuss her latest work It Won’t Always Be Like This. A chronicle of growing up with her Egyptian father’s new family, forging unexpected bonds and navigating adolescence in an unfamiliar country It Won’t Always Be Like This is a touching time capsule of Gharib’s childhood memories—each summer a fleeting moment in time—and a powerful reflection on relationships, values, family, and what happens when it all collides. Malaka will be joined by freelance journalist and fellow author Hannah Bae for what will be an unforgettable discussion on the power of identity and belonging.
