Mirinda Kossoff Explores Identity and a Father’s Legacy in “The Rope of Life”

Charlotte Readers Podcast

In this episode 204, guest hosted by Jordan Wade, who has a Masters in American Studies, a commitment to social justice and an interest in the topics of identity and religion, we visit with Mirinda Kossoff, author of “The Rope of Life,” a poignant memoir about the faith, identity, loss, and the bond between fathers and their daughters.
Fueled by the memory of a flight in her father’s airplane, Mirinda dives into her father’s legacy to understand his sudden death and his struggle with identity.
Kim Church, author of “Byrd,” had this to say about the book, “Mirinda Kossoff’s father was a shape-shifter, a Jewish turned-Southern Baptist dentist-pilot-farmer who never managed to escape the stigma of otherness or the pain of unbelonging. In this memoir, full of heart and heartbreak, Kossoff reflects on her father’s legacy and her own journey of self-invention and reinvention. A frank, moving, timely story.”
