Join us in-person or online to hear a grounded and intimate portrait of life by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
His new book, Where We Keep the Light, is the story of public service and personal faith. From an early age, Josh Shapiro learned and practiced the power of showing up, listening and executing, to make people’s lives a little better. Shapiro relates powerful stories about his family, his faith, and what matters to Americans tired of all the divisiveness and distrust in our leaders.
Reflecting on what he’s learned by knocking on doors, serving his community, and tackling the tough problems that no one wanted to touch in new and different ways, Shapiro reminds us that government can be a force for good, that conventional wisdom is rarely wise, and there’s more that unites Americans than divides us.
