Gravel on the Side of the Road Book Release Party
"A bold, rollicking work that often reveals more about the author than her subjects.” Kirkus Review
A woman who worries about carrying a .38 special in her purse, flies into the war in Bosnia, dances with the FBI and spends time with murderers has more than a few stories to tell. Kris’s book is a daring and revealing adventure itself, with plenty of moments that will have readers weeping. The stories span from her beginnings as a rookie reporter covering a gruesome accident to meeting soldiers while flying into a war zone and the heartbreaking moment she witnessed a young cancer patient’s last breath.
