Next Page Books and Cedar Rapids Pride are honored to co-sponsor ‘An Evening with Ellen Krug’ at 6:30pm Thursday, September 4. The event will be held in Whipple Auditorium at the downtown Cedar Rapids Public Library.
Ellen - author, columnist, and national speaker on human inclusivity - has published her long-awaited second book, Being Ellen: A Second Chance at Life, which details her 15-year “womanhood journey” following her gender transition in 2009.
The book is about Ellen’s second-chance life of finally living as a woman, where she finds acceptance by family, friends, and younger female mentees. It’s an improbable story of a transgender woman with a man’s voice who somehow touches the hearts of even the most hardened. The book offers hope at a desperate time in which America finds itself, and the book leaves readers inspired to offer others greater compassion and kindness as they go forward in their own lives!
This event is free and open to the public. Signed copies of Being Ellen will be available for purchase before and after the event. For more information, contact Next Page Books via messenger or by calling 319.247.2665.
