Laurie Sandell: the Imposter's Daughter August 12, 2009

Laurie Sandell will discuss her memoir, 'The Impostor's Daughter.' Laurie Sandell grew up in awe of her larger-than-life father, who told jaw-dropping tales of a privileged childhood in Buenos Aires, academic triumphs, heroism during Vietnam, and friendships with Kissinger and the Pope. But while researching an article on her dad's life, she makes an astonishing discovery: he's not the man he says he is. Now, Laurie begins to puzzle together three decades of lies and the splintered person that resulted from them -- herself.
