19th: Humanitarian Kari Grady Grossman signs Bones That Float, 7 PM. Like Three Cups of Tea, Grossman’s story is of making a difference building schools in a neglected corner of the world. Intensely personal with a message for all humanity, you absolutely cannot read Bones That Float impassively. Winner of the 2008 “IPPY” Outstanding BooK Award: Gold Peacemaker of the Year and two 2008 Nautilus World Changing Book Awards this is a story of a tragic history and hopeful future. Join Grossman for a remarkable presentation of her work in Cambodia.
