Book Signing: Vicki Tapia

Vicki Tapia will be speaking on dementia awareness and signing copies of her book, Somebody Stole My Iron: A Family Memoir of Dementia.

After teaching somewhere around 10,000 mother-baby pairs the art of breastfeeding, Vicki Tapia found her energies redirected to the other end of life after both parents were diagnosed with dementia. A diary written to help her cope with caregiving morphed into Somebody Stole My Iron: A Family Memoir of Dementia, published in 2014 by Praeclarus Press. Tapia, a blogger for the Huffington Post, was a finalist for Best Woman Writer in the 2015 High Plains Book Awards, and is currently at work on a semi-biographical account of her great-grandmother's tumultuous life from Michigan to Montana around the turn of the 20th century.

The event is free and open to all ages.
