MotherSpeak Book Tour Sunday, May 3 Now Hits

Santa Monica Beach

Just in time for Mother's Day, a moving portrait of what it means to be a mother in time of war...

Just Added Santa Monica:

Sunday, May 3rd, at NOON

Arlington West Santa Monica North of Santa Monica Pier, on the beach, Santa Monica, CA 90401

Susan Galleymore, the mother of a U.S. soldier, made international headlines by taking the extraordinary and dangerous step of traveling to Iraq to visit her son stationed on a military base in the so-called Sunni Triangle, north of Baghdad.

What she found in Iraq challenged her to continue her journey interviewing mothers in war zones including Iraq, Israel and the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Afghanistan?as well as in the U.S. These powerful first-person stories offer dramatic insight into the impact of war on mothers, families, communities, and cultures around the world.

Long Time Passing: Mothers Speak About War and Terror gets to the heart of extreme social experiences?war and warriors, mothers and children, communities and cultures?and explores the meaning of courage, fear, and leadership.



Speaker: Author Susan Galleymore's son served in Afghanistan and Iraq. She is South African-born and now based in the San Francisco's Bay Area, Susan Galleymore continues to share the stories of those affected by war as founder of MotherSpeak, as a radio host for Raising Sand Radio, and as a counselor on the G.I. Rights Hotline.
