Tell Your True Tale. East Los Angeles 12+

🔖 Journalist Sam Quinones' writing workshop, Tell Your True Tale, has produced its eighth volume of true stories. These are new writers stretching out and telling magnificent tales:

... of a young boy watching the LA riots ... a Chinese immigrant girl growing up at a South Central motel makes a friend ... of a woman watching her grandmother die and remembering her life as a curandera ... of the tormented friendship of two homeless men ... of a woman who returns to east Texas and finds the story of the ex-slave who set her family forward.

TYTT is a community writing project unlike any other - funded by the great generosity and vision of the LA County Library.
