Kim E. Dooley's Memoir Expected on Amazon
Kim E. Dooley's forthcoming memoir When Life Misses a Note uses a globe-trotting, lessons-from-missteps approach to show how chaotic moments—like a Carnival Triumph cruise disaster—can yield real wisdom through humor and reflection. Built from childhood in East Texas and a career in education that spanned travel and cultural exchange, the book frames personal misadventures as transformative stories rather than polished highlights.
