POSTPONED
'It Rained in the Desert' by Jocelyn Dettloff
Jocelyn Dettloff is a Michigan author who wrote a captivating memoir of the experience that changed her life. As a free-spirited adventure-seeker, she travelled the globe until a sledding accident in Namibia, paralyzed her from the chest down. The motivating message in her story tells us how she created a new life out of the accident so that she was truly living and not just existing in grief and anger. Join us to meet Jocelyn and hear her story of tragedy, humor, joy and adventure. Reservations can be made through the information help desk number (616-784-2007) at the main branch or at kdl.org. The cost is $10:00 for members, $12:00 for non-members and $5.00 to just listen to the author speak. A box lunch is included in the cost.
