Events › Adult Book Discussion: Olga Dies Dreaming

Join us for a discussion of the 2025 One Book, One Chicago selection Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez.

In 2017 New York, siblings Olga and Pedro “Prieto” Acevedo balance public success with private struggles. Olga is a sought-after wedding planner for Manhattan’s elite, while Prieto is a congressman representing their changing Brooklyn neighborhood. When their estranged mother returns amid a devastating Puerto Rican hurricane, long-held family secrets come to light.

Join us as we dive into this story about resilience, family, loyalty, and what it truly means to weather a storm.
