SUMMARY:Historical Fiction Discussion
DESCRIPTION:What if the noble words of the Declaration of Independence were not written by Thomas Jefferson\, but by an author of much lower station still aspiring to be free? What if “life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” was the idea of an especially precocious\, bookish\, half-Black\, teenaged servant girl with a boundless faith in the ideas of the Enlightenment? \nBookshop welcomes local author Wallace Baine for a reading and signing of his new novel Founding Daughter\, which is set during the American Revolution and explores themes of American ideals\, freedom\, and the hidden histories behind the nation’s founding. \nBaine will be in conversation with Steve Kettmann.
