F. Kennerly Clay, of Wayne, Pennsylvania, will be reading from her memoir, "Letters from East of Nowhere - Daddy’s Words to Live, Drink & Die By." The book is about the consequences of a life free of commitments against a backdrop of wandering, music, and overindulgence. It was the free-spirited lifestyle romanticized in Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel "On the Road" that beckoned to Kennerly Clay’s father, which also led him to a lifetime of failed relationships, mishaps with the law, and a never-ending struggle with alcoholism. Copies of the book will be available to purchase at the program.
