On this evening in 1972, the fictional murder of Maria Cruz occurred under a full moon in a lonely field in Orient, New York. This tragic event set the stage for my debut crime novel entitled

Eugenicists visited many places in upstate New York including the town of Granville (Washington County) and to Lake Champlain (near the Vermont border) to concoct biased studies on poor rural families.

Today these are common insults, but over 100 years ago terms like "idiot", "imbecile", and "moron" were medical diagnoses used by eugenicists to label millions of people & condemn them to harsh eugenic measures.

Beautiful poetry driven by monumental strength and unspeakable grief from a loving mother who lost a child at a tender age. Please
consider adding a copy of "I Will Speak of You" by Cherie Pinheiro to your library. 💜
