Description
by Andrew L. Ramirez (Contribution by), Jacqueline Gonzalez Reyes (Contribution by), Celia Viramontes (Contribution by)
Great nonfiction stories by authors in the Tell Your True Tale writing workshop at East Los Angeles library. Stories of a vet returning home from Vietnam; of a janitor in Houston trying to find her children in Mexico; of braceros finding their way north and back home again; of a man learning confidence as he woos a woman; of a bus rider in Los Angeles; of a mariachi singing for a family on Christmas Eve. The Tell Your True Tale workshop, devised by journalist/author Sam Quinones teaches the basics of writing and storytelling by getting new writers to connect with the tales in their own lives.
Author Biography
