Lois Severin
Matt Goodman has written a new book titled “Saint Lois: The Resurrection of the Smile.” It is a follow-up to the 2016 Jewish Light story about his organization, Smilocracy, and his friend, Lois Severin and her smile campaign for president, A Candidate To Smile About.
The book explores Severin’s extraordinary life and culminates in her becoming the 47th president of the United States.
While the premise may sound unusual, the narrative highlights this remarkable 90-year-old woman and the profound impact she has had on many lives. Goodman says that much of the story takes place in St. Louis, and all the characters are inspired by real people “from our lives and our time spent spreading joy.”
