# 2023 National Book Festival: Alone With a Secret with Victor LaValle & Kevin Wilson

Everyone has a dark secret - and then there are really dark secrets. Victor LaValle's novel "Lone Women" follows a young woman who's haunted by a secret sin that could burn many people. In Kevin Wilson's "Now Is Not the Time to Panic," a young woman's life may fall apart due to a life-altering secret from her past. Moderated by The Washington Post's John Williams.
