Love Letter To My Brother Juan By Maria Elena Scott

April 18, 2022

Madison BookBeat host Angie Trudell Vasquez speaks with writer Maria Elena Scott on her new memoir about moving to Madison, Wisconsin from Matamoros, Mexico when she was a young girl in 1967. Maria Elena and her brother Juan grew up in an orphanage during the 1950s and the 1960s. When she was 10 she was adopted but her brother was not. How they end up together is a testament to their love and devotion to each other. This is a collection of prose, poetry and found text.
