YORK, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Columbus
Citizens Foundation is proud to announce an event featuring Senator
Tim Kaine discussing his recently
published memoir, Walk, Ride, Paddle: A Life Outside, at the CCF
Townhouse, 8 East 69th Street on Wednesday,
May 29, 2024. The book is a rich narrative of Senator
Kaine's physically demanding and thought-provoking journey across
Virginia, offering profound
reflections on recent pivotal moments in American history.
Kaine's memoir provides insight into his
love for the natural world, the tests of his physical endurance,
and how this journey was the springboard for reflections on
dramatic events in the life of the nation, all shared with
immediacy and honesty.
In Walk, Ride, Paddle, released April 9,
2024, Senator Kaine recounts his extensive treks during key
periods such as his sixtieth birthday and twenty-fifth year in
public office. His adventures—hiking 559 miles of the Appalachian
Trail, biking 321 miles along the Virginia Blue Ridge, and canoeing
348 miles on the James River—serve as a backdrop for a deeper
exploration of events like the impeachment trials, the COVID-19
pandemic, racial protests, and the January
6th attack on the Capitol.
The evening's discussion will be moderated by Adriana Trigiani, a distinguished name in the
literary and entertainment industry. Trigiani is celebrated for her
diverse body of work, which includes twenty bestselling books such
as The Shoemaker's Wife, The Good Left Undone, and Lucia, Lucia,
translated into 38 languages worldwide. Besides her literary
achievements, she is the host of the acclaimed podcast, You Are
What You Read, engaging with prominent figures like David Baldacci, Rainn
Wilson, and Katie Couric to
discuss the books that have shaped their lives. A native of
Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains,
Trigiani's deep connection to the region and her commitment to
promoting the arts and literature are exemplified by her
co-founding of The Origin Project, an educational initiative that
benefits thousands of students. In 2023, she was honored with the
Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Stella d'Italia, acknowledging her
contributions to culture and the arts.
