Samantha Paige Rosen: Living, Together w/ Alex Alberto, Sarah Thankam Mathews, & Mia Arias Tsang

At 29, Samantha Paige Rosen made an unexpected move back home — and was surprised to find how much she loved it. Curious, she began searching for others who had redefined home and community. The result is Living, Together, an anthology of 21 essays and Q&As about chosen family, communal living, and what more dynamic shapes of home can teach us about the future of housing in America.

Contributors include Kristen Arnett on the found family that kept her afloat through hurricanes and weddings; Kim Stanley Robinson on communities led by everyone; Sarah Thankam Mathews on the mutual aid group she founded during the pandemic; and Rodney M. Bordeaux on how strength and unity are tied to life on First Nations reservations. Amidst the climate crisis, a hostile housing market, and a loneliness epidemic, the book opens a window into how people across the US are thriving through collective care.

Rosen joins Alex Alberto, Sarah Thankam Mathews, and Mia Arias Tsang in conversation, followed by a signing.
