Join us at the Leavenworth Festhalle for this Sleeping Lady Foundation speaker series event!
The Sleeping Lady Foundation’s speaker series gets off to a big start on Sunday, September 13, 2026, with award-winning author Kristin Hannah presenting from Leavenworth, Washington, an unforgettable mountain escape nestled in the Cascade Mountains.
Kristin Hannah is well known as an award-winning and bestselling author of more than 21 novels, including the international blockbusters, The Nightingale, The Great Alone, as well as Winter Garden, Night Road , and Firefly Lane. The Four Winds debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Kristin Hannah is a former-lawyer-turned writer who lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband. She can’t imagine a better career than writing every day. And, she doesn’t miss practicing the law–or wearing heels to work. Kristin writes because it frees something in her and allows her to be the wife, mother, and friend she wants to be.
During this 75-minute conversation, Kristin will provide insights on the significance of her female characters and the importance of placing complex, resilient female characters at the center of historical events. We will discover how Firefly Lane and The Nightingale were singled out of her other works as a Netflix series (Firefly Lane) and an upcoming movie (The Nightingale).
Tickets for this 2:30 p.m. event with Kristin Hannah are coordinated through the Sleeping Lady Foundation’s partnership with Icicle Creek Center for the Arts. All ticket proceeds will be retained by ICCA to help support its valuable work as one of the region’s most important cultural resources. Each ticket holder will receive a copy of the paperback edition of The Women.
The venue for this event is located at the Leavenworth Festhalle, 1001 Front St., Leavenworth, WA.
Purchase your tickets early as this event will surely be a sell out. All ticket holders will receive a paperback copy of “The Women.” The Sleeping Lady Foundation will donate all ticket sale proceeds to Icicle Creek Center for the Arts.
