In-Person Author Event: Meet Stephanie Foo

Meet Stephanie Foo, author of the 2025 Dubuque County Reads book selection, What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma, on Thursday, April 10 at 6:30 p.m. This free event will be held at Loras College Library in the Third Floor Commons and is open to the public.

What My Bones Know is a moving memoir that explores personal themes of self-discovery, resilience, and self-expression as a means of healing and also the broader themes of trauma and silence in Asian American Communities. Stephanie Foo is a journalist and audio producer whose work has appeared on NPR, The New York Times, Vox, and podcasts like This American Life and Snap Judgment.

This event is sponsored in part by Loras College Peace, Justice, and Diversity Projects Fund and copies of the book will be available to purchase at the event to be autographed by the author. You can also borrow copies of What My Bones Know from participating libraries, including Carnegie-Stout Public Library.

Readers are invited to join Carnegie-Stout for a discussion of What My Bones Know on Monday, April 7 at 6 p.m. Additional information about Dubuque County Reads, including other discussion dates/locations for What My Bones Know, can be found at bit.ly/DubCoReads25
