*THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM*

Join us for a conversation with Mona Susan Power as she discusses her latest novel, A Council of Dolls, which delves into Native American culture and rights, using dolls as powerful symbols of comfort and resilience. Spanning from mid-century Chicago to the Dakota ancestral lands and the harsh realities of Indian boarding schools, the novel tells the stories of three women—Sissy, Lillian, and Cora—through the dolls that accompanied them. Each woman's journey is marked by both beauty and tragedy, revealing the enduring spirit of Indigenous people. Don't miss this chance to explore a modern masterpiece that weaves love, healing, and hope.
