Conner Grennan will be on campus to talk about his memoir “Little Princes,” Thursday, Sept. 13. Grennan’s book was chosen as the 2012 common read.
“Little Princes” retells Grennan’s decision to travel the world in 2004 and his subsequent discovery of rampant child trafficking while volunteering at an orphanage in Nepal. The memoir tracks the author’s initial reluctance to involve himself in a country struggling through civil war and his eventual steadfast resolve to aid the children.
