To Kill a Mockingbird is standard reading in most high school English classes. But for Lori Keesey, it’s so much more than that. Inspired by Harper Lee’s magical words and her incredible characterisation of Scout, a young Lori knew that she wanted to write books and create characters just as engaging as this spunky little girl. After many years, many read books, and one life-changing trauma, Lori’s debut novel is set to release at the end of 2023. A former journalist, ex-communication consultant for NASA, and Founder of the ‘Accidental Blogger’ that celebrates ordinary people who’ve faced and triumphed over adversity in their lives, Lori shows that hope can be found even in the darkest of times. In this episode, Lori talks about her trauma, reclaiming life after 50, and the importance of authenticity.
