Book Launch: Tracy Strauss presents I Just Haven’t Met You Yet: Finding Empowerment in Dating, Love, and Life
In conversation with Amanda Stern
Reception to follow
Tracy Strauss’s unique epistolary memoir cum dating/relationship essay book I Just Haven’t Met You Yet details her journey to dismantle the effects and stigmas of an abusive past, break free of destructive relationship patterns, and ultimately conquer her fear of truly being seen by the world, flaws and all. Writing an open love letter to her future life partner, Strauss shares the transformative lessons she learned, helping readers empower themselves by taking a challenging look at the ways the negative events of their lives, including sexual harassment and abuse, have shaped their self-perception. A modern-day journey of the heart, this is a story about taking big risks, changing old habits and beliefs about dating, and speaking back to the naysayers. Strauss launches her book with a reading and discussion with Amanda Stern, author of Little Panic, followed by a wine reception.
