Author event at the Library -- Lynn Lloyd

by Rachel Dahl -- Two pages into Lynn Lloyd’s “Seven Sets of Horseshoes: An American Journey” and I’m already weeping. This is why I do not read horse stories, nor do I watch horse movies. They’re sad. And beautiful. And they make you think of life and love and all the things that really matter. Lynn lives in Red Rock, just north of Reno and we have her sister Carol here in Fallon as our very own librarian. Only a few know how lucky we are to be the beneficiaries of the sisters Lloyd. Lynn will be at the Library Tuesday night, March 10^th at 6:00 p.m. for a conversation about her book, moderated by the brilliant and entertaining conversationalist, Ron Belbin. In 1973, when she was 17 years old, Lynn set out horseback on a journey across the country, leaving her home in Pennsylvania with two cans of fruit, a dog named Puddles, and her life’s savings tucked in the bottom of a saddlebag. This book tells the story of her grand adventure, of the people she met along the way and the lessons she learned about the world, about life, and about herself. In our modern-day times of toilet-paper shortages and 17-year-olds whose greatest ambition is the perfect selfie, Lynn’s story is a reminder of what is real – ambition, determination, and how a young girl made her dreams come true. Stop by the library Tuesday evening to meet Lynn and her sister Carol and listen to the engaging conversation about Lynn’s book and see how lucky we are in Fallon to have access to such amazing people. Consider bringing the teenagers in your life for a view into a brave way of looking at the world. This event cannot be missed.
