Maria Nhambu will visit the Davenport Public Library to discuss her writing and share her love of her native Africa, its culture and rhythms. Join us at Eastern (6000 Eastern Avenue) on Saturday September 9 at 10:30am. Nhambu’s first book, Africa’s Child, is a memoir that describes her struggles and hardships growing up as a mixed race orphan in Tanzania. Her faith, resilience and strength allow her to not only survive but to triumph and create the life she wanted.

This event is FREE and open to the public. For more information, visit www.davenportlibrary.com or call the library at (563) 326-7832.
