An Afternoon with Governor Gretchen Whitmer
October 19, 2025 @ 5:00 pm
The Books & Books Literary Foundation, Miami Freedom Project, and the George P. Hanley Democracy Center are elated to present an afternoon with Governer Gretchen Whitmer discussing True Gretch — Young Adult Edition: Lessons for Anyone Who Wants to Make a Difference (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, $18.99). She will be in conversation with Maribel Pérez Wadsworth.
The young adult edition of the unconventionally honest, deeply personal, and sharply funny account from Michigan governor and rising Democratic star Gretchen Whitmer is packed with remarkable insights for young people wishing to make a difference in the world. Though the book is geared towards young adults, readers of all ages are welcome to attend.
