A group of Oregonians have organized a public reading for Sunday, Oct. 18 at 2:00 p.m. at the First Unitarian Church called "With You On The Journey," which features monologues written by family members of people in prison. We'll learn more about their stories by speaking with the creator of the event, along with a fellow performer and retired Tillamook County judge.

GUESTS:

  • Carol Imani: English instructor and creator of "With You On The Journey"
