Congratulations to our two winners: Veena Rao, author of Purple Lotus, and Robin Farmer, author of Angel Dressed in Black.
Robin Farmer will publish on the SparkPress Spring 2021 season with her winning book Angel Dressed in Black, an exploration of the elusive truths in our personal and national narrative, based on the adolescent trauma of a black Catholic schoolgirl in Philadelphia. It’s a coming-of-age story about a young teen confronting racism and the hypocrisy that surrounds her, within her school, her family, her community, and the Oval Office as Watergate unfolds.
