Upon the Stars Linda Mata

Upon the Stars is a book consisting of poems, a musical composition,

and short stories, both fiction and non-fiction created by a mother-daughter

team. Dr. Linda Mata includes poems she has written along with two ancestral

biographies and the epic of Sundiata Keita of Old Mali.

Her daughter, Christiana Guarino has included poems she has written

with some dating back to early childhood. She has also written a story in tribute

to her late grandmother along with three other short stories.

As in their first book entitled "Roads and Reminiscences," they have

expressed views of nature and everyday life and revealed contrasts between

views of mother and daughter. This book exemplifies a positive parent/daughter

relationship and promotes creativity on the part of young people as well as

adults.
