SUMMARY:Author Julia Park Tracey returns to Alameda for a Books Inc. event!
DESCRIPTION:A Historical Novel about the Orphan Train and the Mothers Left Behind\nBased on her research into her grandfather’s past as an adopted child, Julia Park Tracey has created a mesmerizing work of historical fiction illuminating the darkest side of the Orphan Train.\nIn 1859, women have few rights, even to their own children. When her husband dies and her children become wards of a predator, Martha—bereaved and scared—flees their beloved country home taking the children with her to the squalor of New York City. But as a naive woman alone, preyed on by male employers, she soon finds herself nearly destitute. The Home for the Friendless offers free food, clothing, and schooling to New York’s street kids and Martha secures a place temporarily for her children there. When she returns for them, she discovers that the Society has indentured her two eldest out to work via the Orphan Train, and has placed her two youngest for adoption. The Society refusing to help and with the Civil War erupting around her, Martha sets out to reclaim each of them.\nAn often painful but uplifting novel by a writer at the top of her game.\n—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) \n“Julia Park Tracey reopens America’s wounds in prose that is propulsive and resonant. Theodore Dreiser comes to mind, but so, too, the fine contemporary novels of Jo Baker and Maggie O’Farrell.” —Christian Kiefer, author of Phantoms\nBooks Inc., 1344 Park St, Alameda, CA 94501\nThursday, September 7, 6 pm\nFor more info or to RSVP, click here to reach Books Inc. site.   ( https://www.booksinc.net/event/julia-park-tracey-books-inc-alameda )\n \n \n
