Meet The Author: F. Kennerly Clay

F. Kennerly Clay, of Wayne, Pennsylvania, will be reading from her memoir, "Letters from East of Nowhere - Daddy’s Words to Live, Drink & Die By." The book is about the consequences of a life free of commitments against a backdrop of wandering, music, and overindulgence. It was the free-spirited lifestyle romanticized in Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel "On the Road" that beckoned to Kennerly Clay’s father, which also led him to a lifetime of failed relationships, mishaps with the law, and a never-ending struggle with alcoholism. Copies of the book will be available to purchase at the program.

In the writing of "Letters from East of Nowhere," Kennerly Clay has found her own voice, delivering an honest reflection on life, on the passionate craziness of the Sixties, and on learning to love a man who would always choose alcohol over everything else. F. Kennerly Clay is the co-author of "The Buzz on Travel" and "Calling of Ancestors: Finding Forgotten Secrets in My DNA". She resides with her husband and two sons outside of Philadelphia.
