She thinks her new spouse, Charlie, “has perfected the art of knowing how to live” even though her father has cautioned her that “most people…want to be alive for as long as possible without having any idea whatso- ever how to live.” In this touching telling of life on a new continent Fuller, now a married mother of two, shares Storyteller Kevin Kling to perform On Monday, March 14, the library is pleased to present nationally known storyteller, author, NPR commentator and playwright Kevin Kling.
