Content welcomes Anika Fajardo for a reading from her new novel THE MANY MOTHERS OF DOLORES MOORE. Join us on Thursday, October 30th at 7 pm for a delightful evening.
For fans of Rebecca Serle and Elizabeth Acevedo, a magically insightful novel about a woman's journey to discover her roots and what it means to carry our ancestors with us.
In the span of a year, Dolores Moore has become a thirty-five-year-old orphan. After the funeral of the last living member of her family, Dorrie has never felt more lost and alone. That is, except for a Greek chorus of deceased relatives whose voices follow her around giving unsolicited advice and opinions. And they’re only amplifying Dorrie’s doubts about keeping the deathbed promise she made to return to her birthplace in Colombia.
Fresh off a breakup with her long-term boyfriend, laid off from her job as a cartographer, and facing a daunting inheritance of her mothers’ aging Minneapolis Victorian and two orange tabbies, how can she possibly leave the country now? But when an old flame offers to housesit, the chorus agrees that there’s no room for excuses. Armed with only a scrap of a handdrawn map, Dorrie sets off to find out where—and who—she came from.
Anika Fajardo was born in Colombia and raised in Minnesota. Her debut novel, THE MANY MOTHERS OF DOLORES MOORE, releases in September 2025. She is also the award-winning author of MAGICAL REALISM FOR NON-BELIEVERS, WHAT IF A FISH, and MEET ME HALFWAY. She lives with her family in Minneapolis.
