May 19, 2008 – Actress, advocate and author Victoria Rowell will be signing her memoir, "The Women Who Raised Me," from 3-4 p.m., on Thursday, May 22, at Dockside Bookshop. The paperback version of the book was just released on May 1. This is her second visit to the V.I. in the last two years, and she will also be visiting several schools on the morning of the 22nd.
The memoir is a tribute not only to the amazing women who cared for Rowell when her birth mother could not, but also to the foster care system that brought them into her life. "I was never meant to be raised by one mother but by many," says Rowell.
