New York Times bestselling author Barbara Jenkins will visit Gordon State College’s Barnesville campus on Tuesday, Nov. 11, for a conversation and Q&A in the Student Center Auditorium. 免费活动将于上午10点15分开始，随后将举行签售会。

20世纪70年代，詹金斯和她当时的丈夫、旅行作家彼得·詹金斯一起徒步穿越美国，登上了《国家地理》杂志的封面，获得了全国的认可。 他们一起写了一本关于他们旅程的畅销书。 Behind the public success, however, Jenkins privately faced the challenges of a marriage in decline, a story she would later share in her 2023 memoir, So Long as It’s Wild.

The memoir offers Jenkins’s untold perspective on the journey that captivated readers decades earlier and has earned praise from well-known figures, including Dolly Parton and Hilary Swank.

Among those who praised the memoir, Parton shared her admiration for Jenkins’s story and spirit.

“I just read So Long as It’s Wild. 芭芭拉确实经历了这一切，完成了这一切，她把这本书写在一起，再次做到了这一点。 我希望它感动你，就像感动我一样。 祝贺你,芭芭拉。 Respectfully and creatively yours, Dolly Parton.”

该活动对公众开放。 停车场将mk体育提供校友大厅地段的大学大道，地段附近的学生成功中心在斯宾塞街，NAHS教职员工地段，和梅尔顿大厅地段。
