Jan Martinez, founder of Christ Kitchen, will read from her new book, "Christ Kitchen: Loving Women Out of Poverty" at 7 p.m., Sept. 26. at Auntie's Bookstore.
The book is the true story of how Martinez turned a personal tragedy into a life dedicated to loving and mentoring women on the outskirts of society.
I’d never witnessed a beating. To this day I shudder when I remember it. I had been reading in my car before a doctor’s appointment and happened to notice a young woman leaving the hospital.
