“No Perfect Mothers” by Karen Spears Zacharias
June 25 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
A new, historical fiction presentation by a local High Desert author.
No Perfect Mothers explores characters, historical and imagined, who over the late 1800s to the 1920s were parties to the infamous Buck v. Bell U.S. Supreme Court case of 1927. Here, Carrie is given back what was denied her by the Court and by society some 100 years ago – her own voice and personhood.
