Tell Your True Tale

Journalist Sam Quinones' writing workshop Tell Your True Tale has produced its eighth volume of true stories. These are new writers stretching out and telling magnificent tales:... of a young boy watching the LA riots ... a Chinese immigrant girl growing up at a South Central motel makes a friend ... of a woman watching her grandmother die and remembering her life as a curandera ... of the tormented friendship of two homeless men ... of a woman who returns to east Texas and finds the story of the ex-slave who set her family forward.TYTT is a community writing project unlike any other - funded by the great generosity and vision of the LA County Library.
