MEREDITH — Author Michael Skinner will visit the Meredith Public Library on Thursday, Sept. 17, at 6 p.m. to discuss his book, "The Lunchbox Theory: Lessons Learned from Trauma and Abuse." The book is a deeply personal memoir that confronts the devastating impact of childhood abuse, including being sexually trafficked.
Written in a voice that is both raw and compassionate, Skinner recounts his journey from successful musician, agent, and father to a man unraveling from the weight of long-buried abuse. More than a personal narrative, it is a call to action for trauma-informed awareness for professionals and a message of compassion for all.
The presentation will include a short reading, music woven throughout, conversation and questions. Skinner will also sell his book and sign copies during the event. This event is best suited for adults.
