The Visiting Author Series at Petals & Pages Presents: Nancy Viera

Join us for a reading and open mic to celebrate the release of Nancy Viera's novel Flower Moon Runner!

About the book: Flower Moon Runner by Nancy Viera is a multi-generational novel about three women gifted with the healing powers strong enough to challenge the drug cartels gripping a small town nestled in the mountains of Chihuahua. Blending magical realism with history, the story traces their lineage from colonial settlers in the Sierra Madre, to the early 1990s when Ana Soledad returns home afters years in the United States. At the heart of their power is the enchanted camellia flower, passed down through generations of this mixed-culture family. Will Ana Soledad embrace her gift and free her town from the cartels? Is the destiny of the town and perhaps the nation in her hands?
