Description
Veronica Chambers discusses her book, “When Did You Stop Loving Me?” She begins by explaining the plot of her novel which follows Angela who is abandoned by her mother and is left in the care of her father, a struggling magician with a strong sense of pride. Angela must go on to navigate the treacherous terrain of womanhood alone and struggle with her issues of maternal abandonment, while growing up in the chaotic socio-economic climate of 1980s New York. Chambers goes on to explore her inspiration for the novel and shares memories of meeting Mohammad Ali and her own father who also was a magician. Also in this interview Chambers reads aloud from her work.
