Mariposa By Candis C. Coffee This literary fiction explores the path of Annarose from ages thirteen when she is exiled to Los Angeles in the early 1920s, to her travels to Mexico at the age of twenty-six, where she aspires to become a writer. Annarose’s life is filled with a connection to those whose spirits are free, like the uninhibited Frida Kahlo and Crisanto, the man who would become her lover. Before she can move on with her future, she must first confront her past. Praise for Mariposa: “Written in a poetic, lyrical manner…a complex love story. The inclusion of Frida and Diego Rivera adds a dimension to it, especially in view of renewed interest in Frida’s work and the film.” —Elmer Kelton, author of The Texas Rangers Trilogy and Jericho’s Road “Lyrical and riveting; she does with words what Georgia O’Keefe did with her paintbrushes… brutal and provocative… a compelling story told with the effortlessness of an elegant spider, pulling us in, enveloping us with her masterful and mesmerizing storytelling. —Camilla Carr, playwright and author of Topsy Dingo Wild Dog ISBN-13: 978-0-9748962-6-7 ISBN-10: 0-9748962-6-8 $15.95 (In Canada: $21.95) Fiction.
