Author Talk: How to Write a Family Story with Elizabeth Wellington Rollins

Author Talk: Pizza, Cannolis & Family Stories with Elizabeth Wellington Rollins What happens when the stories passed down around the dinner table become the foundation for a novel? Join Lit Club NYC for an evening with Elizabeth Wellington Rollins celebrating the release of The Three Graces of Pearl Street, a richly imagined debut inspired by her own family history and the lives of three remarkable women navigating race, class, ambition, and belonging in turn-of-the-century America. Inspired by the growing embrace of "nonnamaxxing," the evening celebrates the simple rituals that bring people together. Think neighborhood pizza, fresh cannolis, thoughtful conversation, and the kind of literary discussion that feels more like gathering in your grandmother's kitchen than attending a formal author event. In conversation with Lit Club NYC, Elizabeth will share the deeply personal journey behind the novel, from uncovering family history to transforming inherited stories into fiction. Together, we'll explore memory, identity, legacy, and the ways the people who came before us continue to shape who we become. After the conversation, guests are invited to stay for audience Q&A, book signings, slices of pizza, cannolis, and conversation with fellow readers. Part book launch, part neighborhood dinner party, this is an invitation to slow down, connect offline, and celebrate storytelling the old fashioned way, over good food and even better conversation. 🎟️ Ticket includes cocktail and guided programming 📚 Books will be available for purchase on-site.
