Miriam Scott – Book Leader for Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home by Nora Krug

Miriam Scott of Amarillo, Texas is a Book Leader for Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home by Nora Krug

Hello, Radio Readers! Miriam Scott here. I was born in a small town called Mechernich in western Germany in September of 1979. Those of you who are “nearest town people” would recognize my home area as near Cologne, which is about 1.5 hours from Mechernich. My parents owned a restaurant/hotel/ bowling alley/movie theatre -- yes, all in one weirdly shaped building.

The Influence of Youth

Hi, I’m Valerie a Radio Reader from Topeka and I just finished reading March by John Lewis, a graphic autobiography as part of our Radio Reader series this spring Worth a Thousand Words.
