Plymouth, Massachusetts – WEBWIRE

A Gift for Mona is a story of love and perseverance in the midst of intolerance and egotism. Mona Whitcomb is a freelance magazine photographer based in Boston who lives a life of freedom and travels around the world.
Mona didn’t have a happy childhood and had a weak sense of belonging with her Japanese-American family. She turned to alcohol and drugs as a way of escape and got pregnant in her teens. Her birth to a daughter named Alex became a beacon of hope to tie the knots that bind her loving family.
Mona’s present life, however, is beset by her daughter Alex’s disagreement wih her mother’s lesbian lifestyle and to Mona’s affair with Alex’s friend, Marlie, a journalist. When Mona is offered a job in war-stricken Iraq, she unfortunately goes missing after a huge explosion. This leads to a confrontation between Marlie and Alex.
Grilo’s book was featured by Litfire Publishing at BookExpo America (BEA) last May 11–13, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois.  BEA is the largest event of booksellers, librarians, retailers, publishers, rights, licensing, and book industry professionals in North America.
