When Lori Mier was 3 years old, she was in a devastating car accident with her parents who both lost their lives. As she struggled with grief and resilience as a child, she found hope in talking to a star. Now as an adult, Lori has written a children’s book called Merin and Her Very Bright Star in hopes of teaching children how to be resilient and how to cope with loss.
She is one of our speakers for Books & Brews on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. WMRA’s Chris Boros recently spoke with Lori and asked her about how this book is directly related to her own story.
