Free author talk and book signing with Kimberly Garza for her novel Between You a River, moderated by Carrie R. Moore.
Kimberly Garza will be at BookPeople on Friday, December 4, for a discussion and signing around her new novel, Between You a River. The evening is for adults, and it's free and open to the public.
Garza is a native Texan, born in Galveston and raised in Uvalde, and she's already made a name for herself with The Last Karankawas, which was a New York Times Editors' Choice and an Indie Next pick. She teaches literature at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she directs the creative writing program, and she was a 2024 National Endowment of the Arts creative writing fellow. Between You a River is a family saga that stretches across Texas and the Philippines, following two sisters, Hannah and Mari, as they return to their ancestral land in Mindoro and uncover long-buried secrets left by their matriarch, Corazon de la Cruz. Author Thao Thai of Banyan Moon describes it as "a stunning, richly layered portrait of a family torn apart at the seams" and "unforgettable."

The night starts at 7 PM with a 45- to 60-minute discussion moderated by Carrie R. Moore, author of the short story collection Make Your Way Home, followed by a signing line. Seating is first-come, first-served and not guaranteed, so if you want a chair, it's a good idea to get there a bit early. There won't be a live stream or recording of the evening, so you'll have to be there in person to catch the conversation. BookPeople is at 603 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78703.
