Ainalem Tebeje returns with a new work of non-fiction, The Unknown Mother, a gripping story of the extraordinary life of a fugitive who grew up fleeing repressive cultures. Ainalem will be joined in conversation with fellow local author Ruth Latta."A feminist like no other. A candle who shone light on her children's path so they could get what she could not: an education."
Saturday, May 18, 2pm-4pm
Glebe Community Center, 175 Third Ave, Ottawa
