[OPLINLIST] Kambri Crews Author Event

[Jim Gill]

*Author Kambri Crews to Speak at Dover Public Library*

The Dover Public Library will be hosting a special event featuring renowned
speaker and author Kambri Crews on Thursday, July 12 at 7:00 PM. Crews will
be discussing her gritty and touching memoir, “Burn Down the Ground.” A
book signing will follow this event.  “Burn Down the Ground” is an
unflinching look at Crews’ childhood with two deaf parents. A magnificent
story-teller, Crews describes the difficulties of always being on the
fringes of the tight-knit deaf community without ever being welcomed into
it; the troubled relationship between her parents; and her efforts to
understand and maintain her relationship with him during his incarceration
for nearly killing his girlfriend.

Crews grew up in a tin shack in Montgomery, Texas. She is now a renowned
storyteller, speaker, and publicist in New York City, where she owns her
own public relations and production firm. She has performed at a variety of
venues in and out of the city, and has spoken at a number of schools and
colleges, including SXSW and DeafHope. She currently resides in New York
City with her husband, comedian Christian Finnegan.  For more information
or to register for this free event, please call the library at 330-343-6123.
A book signing will follow the program.
