MM Publication Volume III: Inspiration for the Modern Magdalena is the fourth installment of the MM Publication series, a timeless anthology by women, for women. This edition celebrates legacy, ritual, and the power of storytelling across generations.
Inside, you'll find heartfelt essays, poetry, and creative works organized into four sections:

Creative Expression: Art, poetry, and prose that capture the vibrant voices of women today.
Recipes: Legacy and love on every page, including treasured family recipes like Grandma Betty's apple pie.
This anthology highlights multi-generational storytelling, featuring family members and the relationships that shaped them most.
