Juggling professional life and the wish to be creative is achallenge; find out how one author and mental health professional struck abalance between the two in this reading and workshop by Annecy Báez.
Annecy Báez will read from her book My Daughter’s Eyesand Other Stories, winner of the Mármol Prize—a collection of fourteeninterrelated stories about young Dominican women living in the Bronx as theydeal with the choices they make in their everyday life. These stories spanthree decades, beginning in the 1970s, and their topics range from mother-daughterstruggles, father-daughter betrayal, family, and child abuse, to emergingsexuality, love, loss, and healing.
