“The disconcerting part of writing a memoir is discovering that the part of yourself you tried so hard to leave behind is still there, ready to stir up trouble.”
- Lori Thicke
The Dreamer’s Daughter
In a mining town where hope is as tapped-out as the gold, a mother abandons her two children. The Dreamer’s Daughter is a memoir of what happens next as Lori, 10, and Brad, 5, end up in the custody of their free-spirited father. Colorful and larger-than-life, Dacker is a dreamer who fails spectacularly at everything — except at being a loving parent.
COMING IN SPRING 2026!
