This is the first part of our Vermont Reads programming about this year’s selection, The Light Pirate. We have all heard amazing stories of survival that rendered us awestruck. But too often, we don’t realize the wealth of information we can learn from people who make it to the other side of life’s most daunting challenges. In this talk, New York Times bestselling author Michael J. Tougias chronicles harrowing survival stories and then discusses lessons to learn from these experiences. Presented by Vermont Humanities. Gather to watch with us at the library or email alex@carpentercarse.org to receive the Zoom link so you can watch at home.
