Join us for an invigorating evening of interactive discussion as we debut
the new bio-memoir, Miss Alcott's E-Mail - Yours For Reforms of All Kinds,
by Seattle author Kit Bakke. Ms. Bakke and "Miss Alcott" (portrayed by
Orchard House Executive Director Jan Turnquist) will span the centuries to
converse about their shared interests in women's suffrage, Utopias, civil
rights, nursing, and the pleasures and pains of writing. Ms. Bakke will
answer questions about and sign copies of her book afterward.
Period-appropriate after-dinner refreshments available.
Bonus: Purchase your copy of Miss Alcott's E-Mail this evening
to receive 10% off the cover price along with the author's signature!
This event is free and open to the public, |
