Dmae will feature a reading from her book with an interactive talk based on her Oregon Humanities Conversation Project topic: "What Are You? Mixed-Race and Interracial Families in Oregon's Past and Future." This reading and conversation will draw on her personal experiences and historical research on the mixed-race experience in Oregon. Organizations, groups and educators can request this topic at: http://oregonhumanities.org/programs/2016-17-conversation-project-catalog/

Dmae Roberts' book The Letting Go Trilogies: Stories of a Mixed-Race Family traces four decades of what it means to be a mixed-race adult who sometimes called herself "Secret Asian Woman." With her personal essays written over a ten-year period, Dmae journeys through biracial identity and her interracial Taiwanese and Oklahoman family amid love, loss and letting go of past regrets and grief.

Another Read Through will offer copies for $13 only on Sept. 1st 7-8pm. Dmae will be available to sign any copies purchased that night.
