Bonnie Barnett Book Signing at Fiction Addiction February 19, 2011

North Carolina author Bonnie Barnett will be signing copies of her memoir, Bobo's Daughter (Synergy Books, hardcover, $23.95), at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, February 19th, from 3-5 pm.

Bonnie Barnett first met her father at the circus. She was a four-year-old spectator; he was one of the world's most famous clowns, a veteran performer for the Shrine Circus, The Ed Sullivan Show, and other productions. Though his star persona was always present in the periphery of her life, she rarely heard from him, and the inconsistency of her mother, a former clown herself, only increased her loneliness. As she entered adulthood, put herself though college, and sought spiritual fulfillment, Bonnie found herself seeking out her father at every turn. It wasn't until she finally showed up at his doorstep that he stopped being a larger-than-life myth and became a very human father, full of faults, regrets, and love. Bobo's Daughter recounts Bonnie's quest for a relationship with her legendary father--and the lessons she learned along the way.

Bonnie Barnett was born and raised in Southern California. She earned a BA in both art and psychology from California State University at Los Angeles and an MA in psychology from Pepperdine University. She currently works as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Life Coach near Durham, North Carolina.
