In 2021, Author Victoria Christopher Murray teamed up with NYT Bestselling author Marie Benedict to co-author “The Personal Librarian”, the remarkable, little-known story of Belle da Costa Greene, J. P. Morgan's personal librarian—who became one of the most powerful women in New York despite the dangerous secret she kept in order to make her dreams come true. Come hear her talk about the book writing process, and what they discovered along the way.
