Lincoln resident Jackie Tuxill will read from and discuss her new memoir, which chronicles her quest to understand her difficult childhood and who she is beyond “wife,” “mother” and “daughter.” Born in 1942 to medical missionary parents in China, Tuxill has traveled extensively, spending time in India, Tibet, Alaska and Europe’s navigable inland waterways. Tuxill’s fellow Lincolnite, the author John Elder, says that Tuxill’s journeys, “offer readers a dramatic counterpoint to their customary worlds, which is the true gift of fine travel writing.”
