Description
Join us for an evening with the author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky, Heidi Durrow. Inspired by a true story of a mother's twisted love, The Girl Who Fell from the Sky reveals an unfathomable past and explores issues of identity at a time when many people are asking "Must race confine us and define us?" Originally from Portland, Oregon, Heidi Durrow is the daughter of an African American G.I. father and a white Danish mother. Growing up in a traveling military family without great resources, she was the first in her family to go to a four-year college. She is a graduate of Stanford University, Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, and Yale Law School.
