Author and former Professor, Irma Guadarrama joins us in our Austin studio to discuss her book, In the Shadow of the Half Moon: Struggles of Women From Central America in Search of a New Life
Why do women from the Northern Triangle countries of Central America risk their lives along with their children’s, traversing through the treacherous, dangerous Mexican corridor, full of chaos and not knowing if they will live another day, if delinquents will steal their last peso, hurt them, or kill them?
This book includes the narratives of nine women, three from each of the three countries: El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, who at the time of the interviews were awaiting asylum proceedings. Each story presented herein is a dramatization, an account based on the information they shared with Irma in her interviews with them.
And Dr. Mara will follow up this discussion with another sneak peek into her International Best Seller, The Passionate Life: Creating Vitality & Joy at Any Age to discuss Following Your Passion to Create Meaning in Your Life and Bring More Light Into the World.
