Conversations with African American Artists - Dr. Marlen Suyapa Bodden

Dr. Bodden has more than two decades experience representing poor, low-wage, and immigrant workers, many of whom are severely underpaid. Her knowledge of modern and historical slavery, human trafficking, and human rights abuses drew her to write The Wedding Gift. This first novel by Dr. Bodden is a captivating and unforgettable historical read that explores the powerful bonds between people. Published by St. Martin's Press September 24.
