Author Annette B. Dunlap will debut her memoir The
Gambler’s Daughter: A Personal and Social History at 7 p.m. Thursday,
February 7, at the Asheboro library.
Her appearance, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, is free and the public
is invited.
Her book chronicles her experiences growing up in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill
Jewish community with a father who was a compulsive gambler and a mother who
was determined to hold her family, and her marriage, together.
Dunlap was born in Pittsburgh and moved to North Carolina in 1977. She has been
a freelance journalist for over 30 years whose articles have appeared in
various regional newspapers including The Courier-Tribune.
Her first book, Frank: The Story of Frances Folsom Cleveland, America’s
Youngest First Lady, was published by SUNY Press/Excelsior Editions in 2009
and in 2011 received the Ella Dickey Literacy Award.
