"John Brown's Women: A Novel" Author Chat with Susan Higginbotham

Join author Susan Higginbotham as she delves into her latest novel "John Brown's Women." This library presentation coincides with the anniversary of John Brown's October raid on Harper's Ferry 163 years ago the same week.  

"As the United States wrestles with its besetting sin—slavery—abolitionist John Brown is growing tired of talk. He takes actions that will propel the nation toward civil war and thrust three courageous women into history. Spanning three decades and half the breadth of a nation, John Brown’s Women is a tale of love and sacrifice, and of the ongoing struggle for America to achieve its promise of liberty and justice for all."--Onslow Press  

“Through tragedy, triumph, outrage, and defeat, Higginbotham ably portrays the legacy of Brown and his family as stalwarts in the fight against slavery. Historical fans will feel right at home here.”—Publishers Weekly
