AUTHOR BANQUET VERY SOON

This month we are hosting local Nanaimo author Diane Bestwick who will read from her fictional account of a young woman’s agonizing choice for a second child under the one child policy. Diane will share her personal perspective based on her experiences in China which have shaped her commitment to Swallows Nest , foster care for special needs children in Henan province. Set in the geopolitical context of women’s reproductive rights, and social policy, this topic invites conversation and action about women and children.
