One Read Book Club: Overcoming barriers

In Callings, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay presents unforgettable stories from people doing work they love. Told through touching conversations between friends, coworkers, and family members, the stories share a wide range of experiences and capture the strength, courage, and resilience of the storytellers. Some found their paths at very young ages, others later in life; some overcame great odds or upturned their lives in order to pursue what matters to them; and all are generous gifts that offer inspiration and hope.

 

In this book club, we explore four stories of brave and inspiring individuals who defy norms and expectations in order to reach their dreams.

Stories featured:

Ledo Lucietto and Anne Lucietto, Mechanical engineer

Sue Larson and Clela Rorex, County Clerk

Lillie Cotlon and Burnell Cotlon, Grocer 

Frank Scott and Warrick Scott honor Wendell Scott, NASCAR driver
