Joanna Connors: “I Will Find You” Book Launch
Thursday, April 14, 5 to 7 p.m.
City Club of Cleveland
In 1984, Joanna Connors was thirty years old and a reporter for The Plain Dealer when she was raped at knifepoint by a stranger. Twenty years later, she went in search of the story of her own rapist, determined to find out who he was, where he came from, what his life was like – and what leads a person to do something as destructive as what he did to her. The journey is chronicled in her new book, I Will Find You. Join us for an intimate conversation with Ms. Connors and Sondra Miller, President & CEO of Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, at the Cleveland launch of the book. Sales of I Will Find You will benefit the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center.
