AUTHOR KAMBRI CREWS AT BOOK WOMAN BOOKSTORE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Author to Give Presentation, Sign Books & Answer Questions<\/p>\n

Austin, TX \u2014Kambri Crews, author of the highly acclaimed new memoir Burn Down the Ground (Random House) will appear at the Book Woman Bookstore on Thursday, November 1st at 7PM.<\/p>\n

Burn Down the Ground is Crews\u2019 powerful, affecting, and unflinching memoir about her unconventional childhood living with deaf parents in a tin shed in rural Texas (Crews is not deaf), and her attempts to reconcile that harrowing childhood to her present life\u2014one in which her father is serving a twenty-year sentence in a maximum-security prison.<\/p>\n

Crews now runs her own PR and production company in New York City. A renowned storyteller, she has performed on The Moth, Upright Citizen\u2019s Brigade (UCB) Theatre, and Gotham Comedy Club, and at festivals including The Texas Book Festival, Wordstock Book Festival and South by Southwest (SXSW). She also has given keynote speeches at schools and universities including Oregon and Texas, and at DeafHope, a nonprofit dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence against deaf women and children.<\/p>\n

Crews\u2019s memoir has received praise from Publishers Weekly, Booklist, Glamour and ELLE magazines, and Library Journal, whose review states, \u201cWhile there\u2019s plenty of memoir fodder in the hearing-child-of-two-deaf-parents subject, Crews\u2019s story has heartbreaking depth and complexity. With insight into her father\u2019s feelings about deafness, his \u00fcber-Christian family\u2019s response to his violence against the women in his life, and the culture of the deaf community, this is a rich read.\u201d<\/p>\n
