Difficult Decisions with authors Susan Mills and Barbara Morrison

Local authors Susan Mills and Barbara Morrison read from their books and discuss incorporating social justice issues in fiction and memoir.

Susan Mills’ new novel, On the Wings of a Hummingbird, follows a 15-year-old Guatemalan girl who draws on Mayan mythology to help her carve a future out of a childhood scarred by gang violence. Susan was a Spanish-speaking immigration attorney for twenty years and prepared asylum cases for thousands of immigrants from Central America.

Barbara Morrison, who writes as B. Morrison, is the author of a memoir, Innocent: Confessions of a Welfare Mother—now an audiobook—and two poetry collections, Terrarium and Here at Least. She conducts writing workshops and provides editing services.
