Beloved by brunch enthusiasts, scapegoated for economic inequality, lauded by wellness gurus, and used as a staple ingredient in cuisines across Central and South America for centuries, the avocado has undergone an exceptional odyssey from ancient Aztec markets to modern-day Instagram feeds. In their new book Green Gold: The Avocado's Remarkable Journey from Humble Superfood to Toast of a Nation, Monique F. Parsons and Sarah Allaback provide an entertaining and far-ranging exploration of the avocado’s journey to a central place in the American diet and global imagination.  On Wednesday, June 25 at 6:00 PM, Monique will discuss Green Gold at Bookends & Beginnings, in conversation with store owner and two-time James Beard Award winner Nina Barrett. Cocktails and appetizers featuring the book's starring fruit will be provided. Food and drinks will be served from 5:00 to 6:00 PM, with the event taking place from 6:00 to 7:00, followed by a book signing. MONIQUE F. PARSONS is a journalist, an award-winning audio producer, and an avocado farmer. A native of Carpinteria, California, she lives in suburban Chicago.
