About this Event

Join us at the Ivy for the launch of Nicole Hackett's novel MOM BRAIN, featuring the author in conversation with novelist Susan Coll!

Welcome to The Program, an immersive week-long experience set to the backdrop of the breathtaking island of O'ahu, where mothers in all stages of crisis can come to take control of their lives. It's not exactly the type of thing Georgia Evans--a busy working mother of two--would usually consider. However, still spiraling from a debacle that crowned her "internet's worst mom," she is desperate enough to try anything.

What's in store? A story that turns a discerning eye toward society's view on modern motherhood and reframes "mom brain" as a superpower.

Order MOM BRAIN here!

Nicole Hackett lives with her husband and two kids in the farmlands of northern Maryland, where she works as a biochemical patent agent. She is the author of the “cleverly constructed thriller” (Kirkus Reviews) The Perfect Ones and is one of those annoying people who run on vacation.

Susan Coll is the best-selling author of eight novels, including The Literati, Real Life and Other Fictions, Bookish People, and The Stager, a New York Times and Chicago Tribune Editor’s Choice. Her novel Acceptance was made into a television movie starring Joan Cusack. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including the New York Times Book Review and the Washington Post, She is the events advisor at Politics and Prose Bookstore.
