SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Bessie Flores Zaldívar
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 9 at 3pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE PUBLIC EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Saturday\, November 9th at 3pm for a Q&A and book signing with author of Libertad\, Bessie Flores Zaldívar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nA queer YA coming-of-age set during the rigged Honduran presidential election about a young poet discovering the courage it takes to speak her truth about the people and country she loves. \n\n\n\nAs the contentious 2017 presidential election looms and protests rage across every corner of the city\, life in Tegucigalpa\, Honduras\, churns louder and faster. For her part\, high school senior Libertad (Libi) Morazán takes heart in writing political poetry for her anonymous Instagram account and a budding romance with someone new. But things come to a head when Mami sees texts on her phone mentioning a kiss with a girl and Libi discovers her beloved older brother\, Maynor\, playing a major role in the protests. As Libertad faces the political and social corruption around her\, stifling homophobia at home and school\, and ramped up threats to her poetry online\, she begins dreaming of a future in which she doesn’t have to hide who she is or worry about someone she loves losing their life just for speaking up. Then the ultimate tragedy strikes\, and leaving her family and friends—plus the only home she’s ever known—might be her only option. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nBorn in 1997 in Tegucigalpa\, Honduras\, Bessie FloresZaldívar is a writer and professor of fiction. They’re currently based in the New Haven area. Libertad is Bessie’s debut novel.
