”A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” – Agatha Christie And that is exactly what Maria did for her seven children, including little Danny, who dreamed big things and then, against all odds, achieved them. In his beautiful and transformative memoir, Maria’s Scarf, Zoro the internationally renowned drummer, tells the incredible story of how his mother’s love, and their family’s unbreakable bond, helped a starry-eyed boy never lose sight of his dreams. Join us at the Coronado Public Library to meet Zoro and hear his remarkable life story. Pre-order a copy of the book below to receive reserved VIP seating at the event (limited tickets available).
