About the event
GET YOUR TICKETS HERE. "This mesmeric memoir… holds a deeper purpose than solely chronicling the trauma of an abusive childhood… The results of that work are riveting… a beautifully wrought, hard-earned connection and an understanding that ‘the biggest gift you can give yourself is to forgive.’” — Publishers Weekly Join us for the official launch of Bullied to Besties: A Daughter’s Journey to Forgiveness, the powerful new memoir by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker and author Gayle Kirschenbaum.
This special event will feature a conversation between Gayle and Dr. Pamela Thompson—psychologist, author "Surviving Mama", and expert in trauma and healing—who will moderate the discussion.
Gayle’s 102-year-old social media influencer mother, Mildred Kirschenbaum, will also be present and participating in the conversation.
Together, they will share their extraordinary journey from conflict to connection, and how forgiveness transformed their relationship.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
