There’s no better way to celebrate IBD day than to gather with great books, great conversation & great wine! 

We are excited to host Sarah Hoover, author of TheMotherload, for a conversation + booksigning. She will be live with Pia Baroncini, celebrating this sharp & honest memoir.

A national bestseller, The Motherload is "an unflinching...memoir that dares to ask what happens when 'what to expect when you’re expecting' turns out to be months of rage, anguish, brain fog, and a total surrender of sex, career, and identity."

Come join the much overdue conversation as Sarah Hoover & Pia Baroncini, two good friends, talk honestly, openly & get a little gritty about Motherhood.

A true friend to Sarah, Pia Baroncini is also the Creative Director of LPA, a fashion brand available at Revolve & FWRD; the CMO of Ghiaia Cashmere, host of the Everything is the Best podcast, has a large Instagram following and mother to 2 beautiful children.

This will surely be a delightful evening - one you definitely don't want to miss! Get your tickets before they sell out!
