SPECIAL GUEST: Pamela Koefoed

What do an explosion, four house fires, fleeing from toxic chlorine gas, and escaping an attack by a knife-wielding assailant mean to author Pamela Koefoed? Each of these events—part of her early childhood—are graphically depicted in her new memoir, JoyRide: Life, Death and Forgiveness.
Ms. Koefoed and her sister are two gutsy little girls who draw on the love they have for each other, hold onto faith, and rise above the unthinkable horrors of child abuse to show us all the way to a richer and more meaningful life.
Through this masterwork, the audience is able to see new sides of the world, be torn with new hurts, and be healed in new ways. This is what Pamela has put into this book. A journey that is so important, with so much of her wrapped around it, she is able to paint and play it to the reader with the true works of a master. JoyRide is extraordinarily well-done and a journey everyone must take.”
