Warwick's Author Livestream: Stephanie Thornton Plymale
Warwick's will host Stephanie Thornton Plymale as she discusses her new book, American Daughter: A Memoir, in conversation with Jeniffer Thompson. Stephanie Thornton Plymale is the CEO of Heritage School of Interior Design and the founder of the Heritage Home Foundation, a non-profit serving families transitioning from homelessness. Stephanie calls Portland, Oregon, her home - a word imbued with much meaning, as she grew up without one. From living in a car on the beach with her five siblings to being isolated in the Dependent Unit of the State of California to a horribly abusive foster home, Stephanie never experienced a feeling of family during her childhood. Married at 19 to her high school sweetheart, Stephanie's desire for family roots helped her create a stable, loving marriage and a home for her two biological sons and adopted daughter. It also drove her to uncover the astonishing family secrets revealed in this memoir. Jeniffer Thompson is Creative Director and co-founder of the San Diego Writers Festival.
