I'm thrilled to announce that The Immigrant Wife: Her Spiritual Journey has won the National Indie Excellence Award! A couple of weeks ego, it was named a Finalist in the Multicultural Fiction Category by a different committee, the 2017 Next Generation Book Awards! "In The Immigrant Wife, Madhu B. Wangu brings to life a mysterious time and place. Wangu creates rich, dynamic images of India, comparable to her watercolors, evoking every sense. Wangu's style is gentle and quiet, like the protagonist, and deeply powerful. This tale of love and nurturing, loss and growth, and transformation will stay with readers long after they finish the novel."

Recently I discovered Maridon Museum in Butler, PA--a hidden gem of Chinese, Japanese and Korean art. Currently, they are showing my friend, William Rock's vision of the Tibetan goddess, Yeshe Walmo and his renderings of woman's body--walking, standing, leaping. Yeshe Walmo is the goddess of protection and healing someone we should be mindful of at this time of chaos, disorder and insecurity in the world. The exhibits are a visual feast. The show is open until June 3 at: The Maridon Museum 322 N McKean Street Butlar PA 16001 (724) 282-0123 Curator: Roxann Booser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRJN8H2IgdA...
