Join us for a heart-opening evening with author Carly Bennett Stenmark. About the Book: Living the perfect life in a small ski resort town turned to imperfect when she was blindsided by her husband's early onset Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, something she knew nothing about. In an effort to help herself, her soulmate, and ultimately others, she struggled to learn anything and everything she could about this insidious disease, all the while facing monumental challenges with grace, fortitude, and much needed humor. Her healthy and incredibly intelligent husband was living proof that Alzheimer's disease doesn't discriminate. It can happen to anyone at any time. However, through it all, she remained steadfast and persistent as her undying love never faded.

As a loving mother of four, grandmother of fourteen, and a great grandmother of ten, Carly’s life is a shining example of love and resilience. While enjoying her family, golfing, skiing, writing her first book, working full-time, and singing back up vocals with her singer/songwriter husband, Carly also attended night school three nights a week. Driven to obtain her high school diploma, which she successfully earned in 2017 after a three-year effort, making her a Park City High School graduate…just like her children. Living in Park City, Utah, Carly enjoys a variety of activities including running, snowshoeing, hiking, listening to music, reading, golfing, skiing, and watching British detective television show. But life took an unexpected turn in the fall of 2019 when she began noticing significant changes in her husband's memory. And then devastating diagnosis: stage five Alzheimer's disease. With courage, humor, and determination, Carly transformed a life-changing experience into a powerful story and felt compelled to share her experience of living with her husband before and after his diagnosis, all the while acknowledging the harsh and painful realization that it can happen to anyone at any time. https://www.goldenbraidslc.com/events/heart-get-ready

She then spent over a decade teaching at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, honing her letterpress craft, and running the K–12 outreach program. After inheriting her grandad's nineteenth-century platen press and collection of vintage images, metal type, Allison founded Igloo Letterpress in Minnesota in 1996. In 2008, she moved to Ohio and found a home in Old Worthington, where the one press grew to ten, outfitting a retail shop, print studio, bookbindery, and hub for creativity.
