Jessica Hoppe signs her book "First in the Family"

Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say's Global Reading Series, brought to you in part by The Brown Foundation, is thrilled to welcome Jessica Hoppe for a book signing of "First in the Family"! Join us at Blanca's Cafe for an intimate gathering with the author herself. Get your copy signed, chat with Jessica, and enjoy some delicious coffee and treats. This in-person event is a great opportunity to meet the author and hear about her inspiration behind the book.

NP also commissioned visual artist Alma Soto to create a print to complement Jessica's book about overcming addiction, striving for redemption, and daring to live life on your own terms. We will unveil the print that evening. You can purchase copies and get them signed.
