Celebrate the launch of *Dreamer’s Daughter: From Chaos to Reinvention* with author Lori Thicke. This memoir, published by Simon & Schuster, is a poignant and humorous look at a childhood shaped by an eccentric, optimistic father who failed at everything—except loving his children.

In Conversation Lori will be in conversation with Todd Thicke, the Executive Producer and Head Writer of *America’s Funniest Videos*. The evening will feature a reading, a candid conversation about the road from chaos to reinvention, and an audience Q&A followed by a book signing.

Why You Should Go If you enjoyed memoirs like *The Glass Castle* or *North of Normal*, this is a must-attend event. It’s a life-affirming story about forgiving our parents and ourselves, and finding love in unconventional families. The event takes place on Tuesday, April 7, at 7:00 PM at Queen Books in Leslieville. It’s a great opportunity to hear from a talented writer and support a local independent bookstore.
