“ANOTHER MOTHER” THE BOOK THAT IS TAKING NEW YORK CITY BY STORM

Another Mother

Ross Kenneth Urken’s touching memoir of the Jamaican Nanny who raised him was formally launched at BOOK CULTURE in Long Island City, New York on October 21 to a sold-out audience.

The following night was no different when Ross did a second reading at SHAKESPEARE & CO in Manhattan. Before the night was over, all copies in the store were gobbled up by the appreciative audience to the disappointment of many.
