Sept.5 on Write On Four Corners

Ana Baca ‘Mama Fela’ is the story of a Hispanic family in the 1930s and its matriarch, Mama Fela, who makes the family go. The story is told by Mama Fela's grandaughter, who absolutely adores her grandmother, but is a little scared of her too, because Mama Fela always expects the best from her. That leads to some exciting adventures. 'Mama Fela' is an award-winning book. It's the story of family ties, both supportive and strangling. It's the tale of family glory and family warts. A truly great read.
