Donna Miscolta will be at Warwick’s in La Jolla, CA

Donna Miscolta will be at Warwick’s in La Jolla, CA on October 15, 2026 at 7:30pm to discuss her new novel, Ofelia & Norma. This event is free and open to the public.

Ofelia & Norma was published on September 29, 2026 by Regal House Publishing. It’s a novel about body image, family dysfunction, and sisterhood. But mostly it’s about female strength and power.

About the Book:

Large-bodied twin sisters Ofelia and Norma have always been inseparable, yet their shared identity begins to fracture in community college. As Ofelia loses weight through long, solitary walks, Norma senses the twin bond slipping away and leaves for an out-of-town transfer college, forcing each to confront alone life as a large-bodied woman in an often unkind world.

Ofelia’s deliberate weight loss spirals into disordered eating and an eye-opening mishap, provoking her to move out and leave their emotionally distant mother, Lyla, to fend for herself. Norma finds solace in the solitude of the college pool until she suffers a traumatic experience she cannot share, deepening the rift with Ofelia.

When the sisters finally reconnect, deeply held secrets surface, and Ofelia, shocked by what Norma has endured, vows to help her find resolution—even revenge.
