Join author Dion Leonard for a special event featuring his New York Times bestselling book, Finding Gobi. This inspiring true story follows Dion during a 155-mile ultra-marathon across the Gobi Desert, where a chance encounter with a small stray dog turned into an extraordinary bond. Gobi ran alongside Dion to the finish line—and when she later went missing, a nationwide search began to reunite them.
