Little Mister Victory is the true story of co-author Tina Drzal's decades-long search for the woman who abandoned her father on VJ Day. Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and good-old-fashioned detective work (burrowing into newspaper archives, ecclesiastic and government documents) David and Tina found the mother, along with a surprise: abandoning her newborn baby was not the most shocking act of her life. David Kruh is a writer, historian, and playwright who is perhaps best-known for his two books on Scollay Square, Boston's erstwhile entertainment district. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Free and open to adults. Questions? Contact Ona at ridenour@noblenet.org . View the full Monday Mornings schedule.
