SUMMARY:GPAG: Lori Thicke\, Dreamer's Daughter Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Lori Thicke\, cousin of the late Alan Thicke\, will be interviewed by Michael Gurney and read from her national bestselling debut memoir\, “Dreamer’s Daughter: Surviving My Childhood and Raising My Father.” In a mining town where hope is as tapped-out as the gold\, a mother abandons her two children. Dreamer’s Daughter is a memoir of what happens next as Lori\, 10\, and Brad\, 5\, end up in the custody of their free-spirited father. Colourful and larger-than-life\, Dacker is a dreamer who fails spectacularly at everything — except at being a loving parent.

Join author Elizabeth Rains and her author daughter\, Jessica Raya\, in exploring what draws us to the page and propels us through the writing journey.
