As the pages of history turn, we find ourselves reflecting on a remarkable milestone—the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held on April 26-27, 2025. Set against the stunning backdrop of the University of Southern California campus, this annual celebration of literature brought together thousands of book lovers, authors, and industry professionals for a weekend brimming with literary magic.
Attracting around 150,000 attendees from Southern California and beyond, the festival was a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the community it fosters. Each event, each conversation, and each shared moment contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrated the diverse voices and stories that shape our world.
This year, Citi of Books was thrilled to be part of this vibrant gathering, where the love for literature was palpable in the air. Whether you were a lifelong bibliophile or a curious newcomer exploring the world of books, the festival provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for the written word.
As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we invite you to join us in reliving the highlights of Citi of Books’ gallery during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books—a true celebration of the literary arts! A book included in the gallery was “Misplaced Anger” by Lois Kerr.
The author, Lois Kerr, a retired Licensed Practical Nurse with 40 years of service, resides in Mishawaka, Indiana, with her husband of 29 years, Steve. At 74, Lois transformed her lifelong passion for storytelling into her debut novel. Beyond writing, she finds joy in reading and sewing quilts, which she donates to those in need. Her life experiences and deep-rooted faith inspire her narratives, aiming to uplift and resonate with readers facing their trials.
“Misplaced Anger” by Lois Kerr unfolds in a quaint Midwest town where the Parker family strives for the American dream. Laura Parker and her family face a series of devastating tragedies, all linked to the tumultuous James Martin. The two families are intertwined in complex and often painful ways, with James subjecting Laura to years of verbal abuse. The situation escalates when James is compelled to reveal a long-held secret, leading to further turmoil. Laura’s journey through pain and resilience is marked by funerals, assaults, and trials, yet her family’s unwavering faith and unity guide them toward healing. Ultimately, Laura emerges victorious, demonstrating that strength and perseverance can overcome even the darkest challenges.
“Misplaced Anger” by Lois Kerr is more than a tale of adversity; it’s a beacon of hope for those seeking solace and strength through faith. Lois Kerr’s narrative encourages readers to believe in the possibility of healing and the enduring power of love.
