Looking forward to reading your book! We recently hosted an activist from Venezuela. She was a young woman trying to provide guidance to youth in her country, and visiting the US through a special program to help women entrepreneurs. The difficulties she described in Venezuela for youth were heartbreaking.
Juliana, Please email my husband, Bob, of My Dead Aunt's Books, at robertharperbooks@gmail.com. He hosts local author book signings. I read Rainwood House Sings the first time and look forward to reading the 2nd edition.
A thoughtful post, and very well-written, I might add. I look forward to your serialized novel. You said you are looking for activists in fiction. Here is a person you might want to look up. Meridel Le Sueur was an activist in the 1930s up until her death in the 1970s. I just ordered her book The Girl.
Here is a podcast that does a nice job talking about her life and some of her legacy:
Thank you, Nancy! And I am excited to listen to this podcast, and also to explore some of the other works and writers mentioned. And thanks also for turning me on to the Lost Ladies of Lit!

You bet!
Have you ever watched the movie 'PowWow Highway'? I like the activists and the way they're portrayed in that movie.
Thanks for the recommendation, Diana! I’ll look it up.
