In this episode it is an absolute honor to bring you the story of Nancy Viera a Mexican American author living as a single mother in Colorado. The story begins with the birth of her novel The Grief and the Happiness, and beautifully, tragically, joyously, and painfully evolves into her present day story. We talk about loss, and how it rebuilt the woman, mother, daughter, sister, community activist and so much more she is today. Grateful to bring a sliver of Nancy's intimate and vulnerable song to you all.
