Global #1 bestselling author David Baldacci joins us this week on You Are What You Read with his latest novel, A Calamity of Souls. David’s books are published in 45 languages and in more than 80 countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide. For decades, his stories have thrilled and delighted us, and A Calamity of Souls is no different. Set in the tumultuous year of 1968 in southern Virginia, a racially-charged murder case sets a duo of white and Black lawyers against a deeply unfair system as they work to defend their wrongfully-accused Black defendants in this courtroom drama.
David is cofounder, along with his wife Michelle, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across America. He invites you to visit the foundation at WishYouWellFoundation.org.
