In conversation with author Ben Fountain

After becoming a father at the age of 58, National Book Award-winning novelist Tim O'Brien realized that when his two young sons would begin to know him, they would know an old man. He resolved to give them what he wished his own father had given him-a few scraps of paper signed "Love, Dad." For the next 15 years, the author talked to his sons on paper, as if they were adults, imagining what they might want to hear from a father who was no longer among the living. The result is Dad's Maybe Book, in which O'Brien wisdom from a life in letters, lessons learned in wartime, and the challenges, humor, and rewards of raising two sons.

Peggy Wallace Kennedy & Donna Wilhelm in conversation with Krys Boyd of KERA

Peggy Wallace Kennedy, seen as the "symbol of racial reconciliation" (Washington Post), is the daughter of one of America's most virulent segregationists, former governor of Alabama and presidential candidate George Wallace, who ultimately renounced his views at the end of his life. Wallace Kennedy's powerful memoir The Broken Road is both timely and timeless and speaks to change, atonement, activism, and racial healing. A Life of My Own follows Donna Wilhelm's path from a lonely child in an immigrant boarding house to corporate wife and mother, to middle-aged divorcee, and finally her reinvention into a philanthropist, arts advocate, and humanitarian. This evocative memoir reveals her unique upbringing, diverse work history, family challenges and journey of personal growth with unbridled honesty and will inspire others to take ownership of their stories.
