Live Reading: The Rope of Life by Mirinda Kossoff

Please join us via Facebook Live for a reading an interview by local author and FRANK guest artist, Mirinda Kossoff interviewed by Nora Gaskin. Mirinda’s highly anticipated book, The Rope of Life: A Memoir, is a daughter’s story told with love and compassion. Readers will come away wiser about family bonds and the ways in which they can hurt or heal. Mirinda took one flight in her father’s Cessna Skyhawk as he piloted and navigated by landmarks that revealed themselves through openings in the trees below. A short three years later, he was dead at age fifty-six.

Memory of that ride fueled Kossoff’s desire to understand who her father was and the forces that shaped him. And by extension, how he shaped her life. Her need to know and to understand became a life-long pursuit. As well as being an exceptional jeweler, Her essays and creative writing have been passions she pursued alongside her day jobs. She penned a weekly column for a local paper, was an essayist/commentator on regional public radio, and taught essay writing at Duke University.
