Author Talk with Martha Hall Kelly

Tuesday, April 27th at 7pm

Join us via Zoom for an author talk with NYT Best Selling Author, Martha Hall Kelly. Martha will join us to discuss her new release, Sunflower Sisters. 

River Bend Bookshop will be selling signed copies of Sunflower Sisters through the library prior to the author talk. Stay tuned for more details on how to purchase your own signed copy!

Lilac Girls, the 1.5 million copy bestselling novel by Martha Hall Kelly, introduced readers to Caroline Ferriday, an American philanthropist who helped young girls released from Ravensbruck concentration camp. Now in Sunflower Sisters, Kelly tells the story of her ancestor Georgeanna Woolsey, a Union nurse who joins the war effort during the Civil War, and how her calling leads her to cross paths with Jemma, a young enslaved girl who is sold off and conscripted into the army, and Ann-May Wilson, a southern plantation mistress whose husband enlists.

A Zoom link will be sent prior to the presentation.
