Meet Author Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa

Author Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa discusses her book, "Daughters of the Stone," on October 15, 2009 as part of Northeastern University Libraries' Meet the Author Series. She shared her writing and personal history as she read from her novel focusing on five generations of Afro-Puerto Rican women from the mid-1800s to the present. The story takes place in Africa and follows Fela and her husband, who perform a tribal ceremony, pouring the essence of their unborn child into a stone. The couple is then separated by slavery. Throughout the next four generations, the power of this stone is revealed. Find her book in the Library's catalog, NUCAT at PS3612.L36 D38 2009.
