[OPLINLIST] New York Times Bestselling Author Beth Macy

[Ty Henderson]

The Champaign County Library presents an evening with Beth Macy, as part of the tour for her new book, Truevine: Two Brothers, a Kidnapping, and a Mother's Quest: A True Story of the Jim Crow South.  The program will be held at Urbana University's Sara Landess Room (8 College Way, Urbana, OH 43078) at 7pm on Tuesday, November 29.  Macy is also the author of Factory Man: How One Furniture Maker Battled Offshoring, Stayed Local--and Helped Save an American Town.  Macy delivers exceptional programs as evidenced when she previously spoke at the library to a standing room only crowd.


"Macy's exploration of the long-hidden fate of two young African Americans and how that fate illuminates the atrocities of the Jim Crow South is as compelling as Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks...both are absolutely stunning examples of narrative nonfiction at its best.... Certain to be among the most memorable books of the year." Connie Fletcher, Booklist.


Copies of Truevine will be available for purchase and can be signed at the event.  A reception following the event will be sponsored by the Friends of the Champaign County Library.  If you have any questions, please contact the Champaign County Library, (937) 653-3811.
