Join us for an engaging in-conversation and book signing with author Patrick Strickland, a Plano Native!
Patrick Strickland is an award-winning journalist and author from Plano, Texas who has reported from some fifteen countries across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, covering immigration, the rise of the far right, humanitarian catastrophes, armed conflict, and more.
In this debut collection, celebrated journalist Patrick Strickland’s vivid and character-driven stories are as true to life as his award-winning reportage.
In A History of Heartache, boys grow up fast in the blazing heat of North Texas, and men grow old before their time. A wayward son rides shotgun into a night he can’t take back. A janitor at an abortion clinic can’t outrun a ghost—or a camera. Strickland writes with clear-eyed realism and unsparing craftsmanship about common people—fathers and sons; widowers and junkies—poised on the knife-edge of hope.
This is one you don’t want to miss!

Join us for our discussion of And the Crowd Went Wild by Susan Elizabeth Phillips!
We’re so excited to host Hannah Lillith Assadi, the author of PARADISO 17, for an emotionally engaging evening.
PARADISO 17 is a tale about a man’s sweeping life, starting in Palestine and spanning “friendships lost and maintained, a stint selling leathers at a tanner’s stall, the ineffable company of cats, and the freedom of the open road, the glowing pride of fatherhood, Sufi myths, prophetic dreams, and visions of the afterlife—and always, always, no matter how far he chases joy, the sweet, treacherous song of a balcony urging him to fly, to fall, to fall.”
Hannah will be in-conversation with local literary supporter Maryam Obaidullah Baig. Books will be available in-store and online!
