Episode 35: Laura Carney book event
Executive Director of KKAD25 Tom Everson hosted a live book event on August 25, 2023, in Denver, Colorado with copy editor, writer, and illustrator Laura Carney about her new book, "My Father's List - How Living My Dad's Dreams Set Me Free." ABOUT THE BOOK: On the cusp of middle age, a newlywed journalist discovers and finishes the bucket list of her late, free-spirited father. Fifty-four adventures in six years. That’s what 38-year-old journalist Laura Carney embarked on when she discovered her late father Mick’s bucket list. Killed in a car crash when Laura was 25, Mick seemed lost forever. "My Father’s List" is the story of how one woman—with the help of family, friends, and even strangers—found the courage to go after her own dreams after realizing those of a beloved yet mysterious man. This is a story about secrets—and the freedom we feel when we learn to trust again: in life, in love, and in a father’s lessons on how to fully live.
