Author Tommy Short shares his new book "The Call I Almost Missed." Registration is required for this free author event.

Tommy Short never missed a call. But he almost missed himself. In 2023, Tommy Short, keynote speaker and author, gave up his phone for a year. He discovered that he wasn't just addicted to the device; he was addicted to the identity it allowed him to curate, to being in control, and to the dopamine drips of notifications and likes. Told through a series of intimate letters to his two young daughters, The Call I Almost Missed is part memoir, part manifesto. In this deeply personal exploration of identity, fatherhood, marriage, faith, and the sacredness of slowing down, Tommy invites you into the year that remade him. Poetic, piercing, and profoundly human, The Call I Almost Missed isn't about giving up your phone. It's about reclaiming your soul.

Book sales and signing will follow the conversation. Registration is required for this free author event. Presented by the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation.
