Peaches reflects on the lessons of love, faith, and courage she learned from her mother.
Peaches draws on her experiences growing up in Park Slope, Brooklyn, during the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Her writing articulates a world of overt racism and other elements of the social and political upheaval of the times. She also touches on thirty-five years of experience as an arts-and-curriculum–enrichment educator for children in prekindergarten through middle school and moves into her present-day work as a chaplain to war veterans and incarcerated women.visualizza meno
