Local author Mona de Vestel will discuss her book One String Guitar. This story is an odyssey of survival, love and redemption from South Dakota on the Pine Ridge reservation during the Wounded Knee siege in 1973 to the land of a thousand hills in Rwanda, during the genocide of 1994.
Of mixed Belgian and African descent, Mona grew up in Brussels and later moved to the United States where she taught writing at the State University of New York. She is at work on a memoir about magic and currently lives in the Oak Park neighborhood of San Diego.
