Actor, singer, and Warner Brothers voice artist for many animated characters, Candi Milo, tells the story of her unusual upbringing in her memoir Surviving the Odd. 

Her father was entertainer Tony Milo, and when he gave up show business to run a half-way house for mentally ill and emotionally disturbed adults and bring his family into the house, the course of her childhood was changed forever.

The book is funny, irreverent, and heartbreaking. Candi joins Suzanne Lang in conversation.

 

Also featured is award winning storyteller Loren Niemi with his memoir A Breviary for the Lost, Poems from the During and After.
