america. kelly, good morning. merry christmas. good morning. merry christmas. carley: why did you want to write this book? tell us about it? i didn t want to at first. a few people asked me if i would and i kind of wanted to keep it right but then, after my dad passed away, some people just wanted to know what it was like growing up in that house with him an my five younger brothers. so i did. it happened to be the timing was, we started writing right at the beginning of the covid lockdown. so it was a great project to do. and something to do, you know, after banana bread and, and carley: toilet paper. spending everything on amazon carley: you said you grew up in the funniest house in america. what was he like at home? he was everything was an event to him. it wasn t just, let s go to the
they met at a hotel in reno, nevada, of all places. and he hardly knew a word of english and she hardly knew a word of french. and yet they hit it off. when it came time for him to leave, she said take me with you. so he did, all the way back to canada, to northern saskatchewan. and against all odds, said denis sister, deanne, the wayward marriage of the preacher s daughter and illiterate dropout worked. what i really liked about them is they seemed to be more friends than lovers. the way they talked to each other, the way they behaved, you know, it almost didn t feel like husband and wife. and the kids? anybody could see how close they were. it wasn t just, how s anna, what s gab doing now, it was always anna and gab. as their friend lois cook could plainly see, denis was fiercely protective of all of them. i would trust him to do the right thing and keep me safe.
and they will just simply have to make up their own minds as to what it means about travis mcmichael. i mean, i cannot imagine what it was like for ahmaud arbery s mom to watch that entire tape in in the courthouse. did they say anything after they left? they did. you know, and it wasn t so much what she had to say. it was how she looked and she was there with marcus arbery, who is, of course, ahmaud s father. but wanda cooper jones looked emotionally drained. i mean, she looked to a point that i had never seen her before and i have seen her many, many times. it wasn t just, of course, that she witnessed the killing of her son, this time in its entirety. but that body-cam video that i was just talking about there from the second officer that arrived on the scene. of the officer turns her son s body over and the wounds are horrific. and you could see that she just
