KATY BUTLER at Books Inc. Opera Plaza With An Introduction by Special Guest DR. JENNIFER BROKAW, M.D.

Based on her groundbreaking New York Times Magazine article, "What Broke My Father's Heart," which was named a notable narrative by the Nieman Foundation at Harvard, award-winning journalist Katy Butler shares Knocking on Heaven's Door: The Path to a Better Way of Death, a visionary memoir pondering her parents desires for Good Deaths, and a groundbreaking map through the labyrinth of a broken medical system that can stand in the way of making these desires a reality.

Here to introduce Katy Butler will be special guest Dr. Jennifer Brokaw, M.D., founder of the San Francisco based Medical Consult and Advocacy Services, which "provides comprehensive and deeply personal medical planning to individuals and families who are focused on achieving maximum health and preserving their quality of life."

One of Books Inc.’s favorite aspects of being booksellers is getting the chance to welcome and host hundreds of authors a year, from house-hold names to local, debut authors and we are so excited to begin reintroducing the Bay Area with “The Experience You Can’t Download” in our stores with traditional author talks and booksignings. In addition to meet-and-greet author events and standard author talks, we are also continuting virtual author events.

Sales equate success, and as with in-store events, booksales made from an independent bookstore benefit the author, publisher, and lead to future event bookings. Please help us keep the Bay Area the wonderful literary hub that it is by supporting your local Books Inc.
