What makes a good death? Join us at the Mill Valley Library for a special conversation between three accomplished local authors whose recent works explore the profound theme of death and dying from unique and powerful perspectives, including choosing when to die, managing parents' deaths, and disparities in end-of-life and death care for unhoused and unclaimed people. Featuring authors Katy Butler, Mark Dowie, and Amy Shea, and moderated by Dr. Dawn Gross.
