Author Bobi Conn (A Woman in Time) stopped by the After Party to share a little Appalachian storytelling with Brad.
Bobi’s own story has been filled with a lot of hard times (In The Shadow of the Valley), but that’s only one part of her tale. She and Brad talked about the joy of writing, the happiness her children bring her, and importance of finding peace with yourself.
Oh, and a bit about the humor that comes out in places we don’t expect.
