“It was a brutal coming-of-age moment. I wasn’t a child anymore. I was 17, a graduate on the cusp of becoming a man. It was time to put away childish things, such as my delusion of ever having a dad who longed for his son as much as that son longed for him.” ~ Zoro
“With whip-smart prose and a talent for telling stories, Zoro catapults us into the world of music, but he also takes us on a journey of growing up and what it means to be a family. He captures his childhood as a dreamer that is authentic and pulses like a pattern of drum beats. Maria’s Scarf is a generous and moving story of sacrifice, family, and hope. A memoir that is not only a tribute to a remarkable mother, but an exploration of courage and faith.”
