Please join us for Jana Bommersbach’s not-to-be-missed presentation.
On January 25, Jana will be speaking to WOVI Phoenix about strong, empowered women. Her presentation is "Strong Women I Have Known and Why You're Going to Love Them." She weaves her speech around the subject matter contained in her two books, which are entitled The Trunk Murderess: Wine Ruth Judd and Bones in the Desert. Bones tells the story of Loretta Bowersock, the mother of Arizona's Domestic Diva Terri, of Terri's Design and Consign. This is the tale of a beautiful, successful woman who ended up being murdered and secretly buried in the desert. Jana believes this story is a "classic case of elder abuse" and feels that Loretta’s hidden life and tragic death hold lessons for everyone. She will share this insight with all of us during the January WOVI meeting. |
