Nadine Live From Greenbelt!

Well, okay, maybe not live, since this post is woefully late. Let’s just say there is an alder tree outside my house, and it has been using its vast stores of horrible pollen as a way to prevent me from any sort of productivity. All of which is to say: wow, my allergies are super bad.

But on to the main event! Last month, Powerbooks hosted “Celebrating Women Writers,” and our own Nadine Sarreal was on-hand to represent Angelica’s Daughters. She reports that readers continue to be interested in the concept of dugtungan, and that folks were curious about everything from our process to how we met each other. Booksigning followed the panel talk, of course, and Nadine was so pleased to meet Sister Lorenza of Heart of Mary Villa, a shelter for unwed mothers—exactly the kind of place Angelica could have used during her time! Here’s Nadine with Sister Lorenza:
