American Book Award Winner Stella Pope Duarte reveals what it really takes to get in touch with who you are as a writer. In this exciting excursion into the power of creative work, you will discover the open doors, valleys and mountains within yourself that create the characters and landscapes that are yours alone. The stuff of real writing is closer than you think!
Her work includes her novels Let Their Spirits Dance, that honors Latinos who fought and died in the Vietnam War, and If I Die in Juárez, based on the horrific murders of women whose untimely deaths have led the way to healing and hope for women worldwide. Born and raised in the Sonorita Barrio in South Phoenix, Stella believes that writing, like love, begins within, or it does not begin at all.
