#180 A Conversation with Ben Sheperde, Author of "Rememberer with Dog"

Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez for a conversation with author Ben Sheperde about his new book, Rememberer with Dog. Ben Sheperde has a deep interest in life’s mysteries, enjoying adventure and discovery as an avid artist, writer, and dog rescuer. Rememberer with Dog, his first book, chronicles how he learned, alongside his best friends, about the potential for hope to transform as personal experiences led him to confront questions about aging, mortality and eternity.
