About this Event
Join Four Seasons Books for an intimate author event with Timothy J. Hillegonds celebrating his forthcoming memoir And You Will Call It Fate. Hillegonds will be joined in conversation by Mike Chalmers for a thoughtful discussion on power, masculinity, survival, and the complicated spaces where harm and healing overlap.
Set in Chicago’s financial district, And You Will Call It Fate explores an eight-year relationship between Hillegonds and Sean Dempsey, a charismatic former NFL player turned entrepreneur who offers mentorship and opportunity to a struggling addict and estranged father. What begins as a lifeline slowly reveals a troubling undercurrent of manipulation and control, culminating in a devastating two-year lawsuit that ultimately frees Hillegonds from the relationship.
Part workplace memoir and part meditation on masculinity, gratitude, obligation, and redemption, this tightly crafted narrative asks a difficult and resonant question: how do we reconcile the debts we owe to those who both save us and harm us?
The evening will feature a moderated conversation, audience Q&A, and a book signing.
