Tell Your True Tale: East Los Angeles - Softcover

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.
