Join Debra Winegarten as she launches "There's Jews in Texas?" winner of the 2011 Poetica Magazine national poetry contest.  Debra was as surprised as everyone else when her book won, as she is known primarily for her biographies of Texas women. She's been told that it's ridiculous for her to be a writer, leading a secluded life, as she likes nothing better than being in front of an audience, public speaking, and selling the heck out of her latest book. Come laugh with her as she recounts what it was like growing up as one of the few Jews in her North Dallas elementary school; what it was like to have a mother both famous and infamous; and share a nosh with her while she celebrates her latest book -- you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll support BookWoman, all at the same time -- what's not to like about that?
