Garth Risk Hallberg presents The Second Coming
Wine reception to follow
Garth Risk Hallberg (City On Fire) returns to Greenlight for the launch of his new novel, The Second Coming, an intimate epic that plunges us deep into the lives of a teenage girl and her father as they navigate love, grief, betrayal, and redemption. A convicted felon and recovering addict, Ethan has long struggled to see beyond himself. But then a call from New York makes him fear his daughter’s in deeper trouble than anyone realizes. Believing he’s the only one who can save her, he decides to return home. So begins the journey that will push Ethan and his daughter apart and together—out past their depths. The Second Coming is at once an incandescent feat of storytelling and an exploration of an enduring mystery: Can the people we love ever really change? Garth discusses his work, along with a reading and book signing.
