Laura Hillenbrand
"Unbroken" the movie opens in theaters on Christmas Day.  It is the story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic star and war veteran who overcame ridiculous adversity to survive his time as a POW.  The book was written and researched by critically acclaimed author Laura Hillenbrand.  She also wrote the hugely successful book "Seabiscuit" and is a personal friend of Ken's so this should be fun.  We will skype with her from her home office in Washington, D.C.
