Join us for an event with New York Times-bestselling author and former Stanford dean Julie Lythcott-Haims!

In striking prose, her new memoir Real American illustrates her experience with American racism and her journey toward self-acceptance. The New York Times described it as "important and inherent and instructive to understanding how a culture of whiteness can affect a person of color."

Books will be available for sale from Books Inc Burlingame at the event.
