Piece Description

Julia Alvarez is an award-winning writer whose novels reflect her own struggles growing up as a Latina immigrant in America. In a lively conversation with host Mike Cuthbert, Alvarez talks about the specific challenges of what she calls "Latina worriers"--and she explores the meaning of family in America, and in her home country of the Dominican Republic. Then, as a 50-something ultra-marathoner, Danny Dreyer knows all about staying healthy. Now he's applied the same techniques spelled out in his best-selling book "Chi Running" to help the rest of us be healthy and injury-free doing what we do everyday--walk. One Latina's life in America, and the five keys to Chi Walking, on this Prime Time Radio.
