Event Details
“My name is Barb, and I died – against my wishes – on September 14, 2001.” Join author Susan Douglass, as she discusses Barb's Story, a fictional memoir, about a woman who is given the chance to live the life she never had: to fall in love, weather difficulties of family and friends, and most of all, discover what really matters in life.
Coping with her sister Barb’s untimely death at the age of 48, the author, Susan Upton Douglass, wrote this story imagining the life Barb might have led, showcasing a one-of-a-kind heroine as she navigates an imaginary life with grace and humor.
