Author Reading with Helena Viramontes
   
SATURDAY March 15th at 1pm
  Join us for this special author reading with Helena Viramontes on her featured book Their Dogs Came with Them. The book reveals the barrio of East Los Angeles, a group of unbreakable young women struggle to find their way through the turbulent urban landscape of the 1960s. Androgynous Turtle is a homeless gang member. Ana devotes herself to a mentally ill brother. Ermila is a teenager poised between childhood and political consciousness. And Tranquilina, the daughter of missionaries, finds hope in faith. In prose that is potent and street tough, Viramontes has choreographed a tragic dance of death and rebirth.
