Rita Stout is the author of Not So Small A Circle, an astonishingly intimate account of how one family coped with their young adult daughter's death from Leukemia seven months after diagnosis. Dedicated to Paul Bell, her daughter's mentor and advisor in the CSU Department of Psychology, Rita's story has resonated with readers on a very deep level. Her discussion will focus on how one family not only copes but is able to spread the word of hope, courage, and grace through tragedy. Prior to writing her book, Rita Stout sold textbooks for several publishers. She has served as a board member and president of a large community mental health center. Currently, she plays and records with the Denver Mandolin Orchestra, teaches reading to college freshman, and lives with her husband in Denver.
