Organizers say the event will feature a fireside chat with Amy Griffin, New York Times best-selling author of \u201cThe Tell,\u201d founder of G9 Ventures and Amarillo native, titled \u201cThrough the Telling, I set Myself Free.\u201d <\/p>\n
The discussion will be moderated by Barbara Bush Coyne, a former first daughter who is now an author and activist. <\/p>\n
A news release states Griffin grew up in Amarillo and went on to build a career and family in New York City, but she unknowingly was running from a secret.
