Fiction/Non-Fiction
Untangling the Past, Embracing the Future
Teresa Bruce joins Orly Konig to discuss two stories, one fiction and one non-fiction, of family heartbreak, secrets, loss and love. Both writers untangle painful pasts, and embrace hopeful futures.
Moderated by Michael Triebwasser.
Orly Konig
Orly Konig is an escapee from the corporate world. where she spent roughly 16 years working in the space industry. Now she spends her days chatting up imaginary friends, drinking entirely too much coffee and negotiating writing space around two over-fed cats. She is the founding president of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, a member of the Tall Poppy Writers, and a quarterly contributor to the Writers In The Storm and Thinking Through Our Fingers blogs. Her latest book is “Carousel Beach.”
Teresa Bruce
Collapsing roads and cities savaged by riots. A gun smuggled into Latin America in a vintage camper. A 16-year-old dog in the back seat. Earthquakes, erupting volcanoes and political coups. And that was the safe road trip Teresa Bruce took down the Pan American Highway. Thirty years earlier, in the 1970s, she traveled the same route. Most of it spent flagging down help along the side of the road when her family’s homemade camper broke down — 61 times.
Her childhood home was still out there, abandoned somewhere in the Bolivian outback. Bruce’s latest book – “The Drive: Searching for Lost Memories on the Pan-American Highway” – chronicles her search for it and the triumph of reaching the end of the road. Her published books include IBPA’s best memoir of 2014: “The Other Mother: a rememoir” and the narrative for “Transfer of Grace: images of the lowcountry.” She is also an award-winning screenwriter, PBS documentary filmmaker and TEDx speaker.

- Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com

This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
