You are invited to meet Nanette Campos, contributor to “Fifteen Candles” at Monday’s meeting of the Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers:

Fifteen Candles
15 Tales of Taffeta, Hairspray, Drunk Uncles, and other Quinceanera Stories
By Adriana Lopez

From HarperCollins: For the uninitiated, the quinceañera celebrates the passage of a fifteen-year-old girl into adulthood: It's a bit bat mitzvah with a dash of debutante ball, and loaded with the same potential for hilarity and adolescent angst. In this original anthology, fifteen of the brightest and funniest Latino writers, men and women alike, share their own memories of these moving and often absurd extravaganzas—tales of that unique form of familial humiliation that is borne of the best intentions, fierce love, and the infectious joy of parents finally allowing their little girl to grow up.

Monday, July 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Barnes and Noble—San Pedro
FREE! Everyone is invited to attend!!
