Austin writer Natalia Sylvester, author of the forthcoming YA novel Running (May 2020), organized and moderated this panel at Diverse Literary Voices of Texas on February 22. The panel featured Texas-based writers Rubén Degollado, Addie Tsai, and Sherry Thomas, whose stories all share complex familial bonds and explore the meaning of loyalty among parents, siblings, and the families we are born into versus the ones we create.
