About this event
Pascuala Herrera, a Latina immigrant woman with a disability speaks from her heart in her recently published memoir, Not Always a Valley of Tears (No siempre es un valle de lágrimas). She shares her experiences as a child who contracted Polio in Mexico until immigrating to Chicago. Although she had the odds against her, from crawling on the floor of her pueblo to becoming a successful educator, wife, mother, author, and speaker, she proved that everything is possible.
Galena LitFest is an annual festival sponsored by the Galena Public Library and the Friends of the Galena Public Library.
