    About this series

    A vibrant and absorbing novel of six friends--each an unforgettable Latina in her late twenties--and the complications and triumphs in their lives

    As soon as it was written, The Dirty Girls Social Club began turning heads. The Chicago Tribune reported that the book "set off a bidding frenzy" among publishers. The Associated Press reported that "even people running the copy machines at major publishing houses just had to read The Dirty Girls Social Club."

    It's no wonder the media is all in a whirl. In this heartfelt and absorbing novel, Valdes-Rodriguez opens up the lives of six upwardly mobile Latina friends in their late 20's. These women, who come from widely varied backgrounds, meet at Boston University and, after graduating, reunite every six months to share their stories. Facing the complications and pressures of everyday lives, the Social Club offers a chance to meet regularly, dish, dine, and help each other over the bumpy course of life and love.

    Filled with humor, drama, and the redemptive power of friendship, The Dirty Girls Social Club promises to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.

      How Mary Miller’s Stories Demystify the White Working Class

      Feb 23, 2017

      Mary Miller has come a long way in a short time. In 2005, she was living and working in Meridian, Mississippi, a small city ninety miles east of Jackson, where she was born and raised. At 27, older than many MFA grads, she had never written creatively, nor had she ever taken a writing workshop. Yet she found herself writing poems. “I was a really terrible poet,” she told me with a laugh. “Like, really bad. But I didn’t know that.” In search of instruction, she began to post poems to Zoetrope’s “Virtual Studio,” an online community for aspiring writers. “People [would tell me], okay, this is a
