“The Names Of My Mothers” by Dianne Sanders Riordan was among the books displayed by Author Reputation Press during the 2024 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) at the University of Southern California on April 20–21, 2024.
The LATFOB is considered to be one of the world’s most significant literary gatherings. It has been held every year since 1996 with the goal of bringing together the people who create books and the people who love to read them. It is attended by more than 550 authors, celebrities, storytellers, and hundreds of exhibitors.
The Los Angeles Times is the country’s biggest metropolitan daily newspaper, with more than 40 million unique latimes.com visitors monthly, a Sunday print readership of 1.6 million, and a combined print and online local weekly viewership of 4.4 million. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Times has been covering Southern California for more than 140 years.
Author Reputation Press once again showcased some of its amazing books in a wide selection of genres in this year’s LATFOB. This book gallery aims to connect readers and authors by exposing it at an event attended by audiences around the globe.
Dianne Sanders Riordan and her husband, Frank, live in Buffalo, New York, where they resettled after serving twenty years as a Navy family. They are the parents of three daughters and four sons, and grandparents of seventeen.
She received a BA from Rosario Hill College (now Daemen University). As a retired family advocate with the Mental Health Association of Eric County, she now volunteers with Justice for Migrant Families. Her poems have been published in “Women of the Vineyard,” Volumes 1 and 2.
“The Names Of My Mothers” by Dianne Sanders Riordan is the touching story of the tender and all-too-brief relationship forged late in life between Dianne Riordan (nee Susanne Sanders) and her birth mother.
In 1942, Elizabeth Bynam Sanders was a young woman who left home under false pretense and traveled to Our Lady of Victory, a home for unwed mothers in upstate New York. Shortly after surrendering her daughter for adoption, she returned to her life in Johnston County, North Carolina. She never married and never had another child of her own.
This powerful and moving memoir speaks of the profound need for connection. It is a story about identity, the hunger we feel for a sense of belonging, and the ineffable significance of blood.
