Don’t know about you mama, but I tore thru Somebody’s Daughter: A Memoir by Indiana author Ashley C. Ford in a matter of days. And following this week’s announcement of an Indiana Authors Tour with Ashley headlining, knew I had to mark the date she’d arrive in Indy.
Join Jeanine and other CityMoms for an evening at Arsenal Tech High School with Ashley C. Ford at her Homecoming: An Indiana Authors Awards Tour Indianapolis stop.
DETAILS:
From the Eventbrite announcement: Join New York Times-bestselling author Ashley C. Ford and the Indiana Authors Awards for a statewide speaking tour from April 12 to 14. Having spent the last several years in New York City, Ford moved “back home again” to Indiana in 2020. This Homecoming Tour celebrates the writer, host, educator and social media star and puts her in conversation with local moderators in three Hoosier cities for conversations about her experiences as an Indiana author. All events are free. However, seating is limited, and registration is required.
From her childhood in Fort Wayne to college days at Ball State to writing for worldwide outlets in New York City and back again to Indianapolis where she now lives and works, Ford brings with her both local interest and national acclaim. Telling the story of her relationship with her incarcerated father, Ford’s debut memoir, Somebody’s Daughter, explores themes of childhood, family, race, body image, education and home.
