Carbó: Featured Author at SA Book Festival!

Rosie Carbó is an award-winning former newspaper reporter and lifestyle editor for suburban Dallas newspapers. Carbó is featured at the 14th Annual San Antonio Book Festival to discuss her novel, Maria Antonia y sus retoños: Legacies of Motherhood.

Maria Antonia y sus retoños: Legacies of Motherhood unravels the complex, often turbulent bonds between generations of a Mexican American family. At its heart is Maria Antonia Menchaca, a woman forged by revolution, migration, and sacrifice, whose resilience collides with the defiance and ambitions of her children. As she struggles for autonomy, family tensions flare—loyalty battles with betrayal, survival with dignity. Through hardship, exile, and fractured relationships, her legacy endures: a mother's strength, wisdom, and unyielding will.
