Author Event: “Life in Captivity”

October 3 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Free
Book cover: Three black-and-white photo booth images of a woman and child. In the middle photo, the childs face is erased. Title reads Life in Captivity: Surviving My Childhood by Eliza Alys Young.

Eliza Young, aka CreativEliza, has penned her memoir titled “Life in Captivity — Surviving My Childhood”, a story of profound resilience. As a child, Eliza overcame unimaginable challenges. She was the first diagnosed case of Vitamin A toxicity that left her physically handicapped; she experienced over 20 surgeries before she turned 18, faced emotional and mental trials when her parents battled for custody, including parental kidnappings, and on September 11, 2001, was just one mile away from the World Trade Center, which, 17 years later, led to breast cancer. Throughout her life, Eliza has held a positive outlook, which many find inspiring.
Books may be pre-ordered here and available for pickup on September 29.
