Award-Winning Author Dennis R. Garcia Honors Latina Legacies on Texas Book Tour

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- International Latino Book Award-winning author Dennis R. Garcia continues his national tour for Las Madres: Latinas in the Heartland Who Led Their Family to Success with two special appearances in Texas. Garcia will be featured at a book signing hosted by Galveston ISD FACE in Galveston on May 7 and the Beyond the Covers Book Fair in Houston on May 9.

Las Madres has resonated deeply with readers whose families faced similar challenges as those of the women featured in the book. “Every time I meet someone who sees their own mother, grandmother, or tía in Las Madres, I’m reminded why I wrote this book,” said Garcia. “This Texas tour is a chance to continue sharing the untold stories that reveal and honor the strength and sacrifices of Latina women across generations.”
