Event Details

Friends of PHR Library invite you to meet local author Tanya Zuñiga at the February Author of the Month program! Join us for a lively discussion, Q & A, and book signing! Threads of Her Braid is a Goodreads Pick, and reviewers describe it as beautifully written, healing, inspiring, and an emotionally resonant story. 

Spanning three generations of women across Mexico and the U.S., Threads of Her Braid is a lyrical and deeply feminist debut about identity, inheritance, and the quiet, fierce love passed from mother to daughter. Perfect for fans of intergenerational fiction, Latinx stories, and queer narratives, this novel is a powerful addition to book club conversations about memory, resilience, and what it means to break cycles.

Tanya Zuñiga is a first-gen Mexican-American writer, born and raised in San Diego, where she still lives with her high school sweetheart (now husband), their daughter, and their pug. She double majored in Psychology and Spanish at SDSU and holds a Master's in Education. She now teaches Spanish at her former high school—where every day is equal parts chaos, caffeine, and inspiration.
