About

The National Writers Series is pleased to present Jeanine Cummins, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of American Dirt, in conversation about her powerful new novel, Speak to Me of Home.

Cummins’ latest work is a deeply moving multigenerational story that spans decades and continents, following three women—Rafaela, her daughter Ruth, and her granddaughter Daisy—as they navigate identity, family, and the meaning of home. From Puerto Rico to the American Midwest and back again, their journeys unfold against the backdrop of shifting cultural landscapes, personal sacrifices, and long-buried family secrets.

At the heart of Speak to Me of Home lies an exploration of belonging: How can three women, bound by blood and history, hold such different ideas of where they come from? And when life’s storms—both literal and figurative—push them apart, can they find their way back to each other? With lyrical prose and emotional depth, Cummins crafts a novel that is both intimate and sweeping, resonating with readers who cherish stories of resilience, love, and homecoming.

Doors open at 6pm ET with live music and a cash bar. The program begins at 7pm ET and includes a Q&A and author signing event in the lobby.
