Vroman's Local Author Day - Young Readers Edition - Introducing Kyriacos Vidalakis and Norah Lally

Kyriacos Vidalakis presents Murky Waters
My journey through faith was profoundly shaped by my father, whose colorful and varied career brought unique experiences into my life. From cooking in France, working at Universal Studios, developing real estate, to creating an Italian restaurant, my father’s career took us around the world, exposing me to adventures like tasting Szechuan rabbit heads and fried scorpions in China and exploring a decommissioned nuclear missile silo in Moscow. However, his most impactful gift was sending my brother and me to the Missouri Military Academy (MMA) in Mexico, Missouri, the summer I was twelve. This was no ordinary summer camp. At MMA, I faced rigorous military training: crawling under barbed wire, rappelling down 50-foot walls, and enduring homesickness that felt almost unbearable. It was in these moments of struggle that I found a deeper understanding of God’s presence in my life.

Norah Lally presents Back to Bainbridge
Welcome to Bainbridge Avenue, where fourteen-year-old Vicki's life takes a bumpy turn. She's got a lot on her plate-sharing a cramped room with her siblings, worrying about her mom who can't catch a break, and dreaming about a dad who's nowhere to be found.
