    Join USA Today bestselling author Hank Phillippi Ryan for an unforgettable evening as she takes us beyond the page of her brand-new psychological thriller, All This Could Be Yours, releasing September 9, 2025.

Her latest novel delivers a chilling and captivating look at the dark side of success, when a glamorous book tour becomes a deadly game of cat-and-mouse.

    Beyond The Page: Reading Selections From Author Emily Gray Tedrowe

    Each month, Beyond The Page: A WGBH Book Club features a notable author, who takes part in a live Q&A with a WGBH personality to discuss the intricacies of that month's novel. With each monthly book selection, we also ask the author for a list of reading recommendations. For its December edition, Beyond The Page selected Emily Gray Tedrowe's "The Talented Miss Farwell," an electrifying page-turner of greed and obsession, survival and self-invention that is a piercing character study of one unforgettable female con artist.
