SUMMARY:Book Event at Fonts Books and Gifts  with Lora Chilton, Author of 1666
DESCRIPTION:Join Lora Chilton, author of 1666: A Novel for a talk and book signing at local McLean, VA bookstore Fonts Books & Gifts!\nEVENT TIME: 7pm\nFor more information about this event, please visit: https://fontsbooks.com/events ( https://fontsbooks.com/events )\nLOCATION:\nFonts Books & Gifts\n6262b Old Dominion Dr.\nMcLean, VA 22101\n\n\n \nIn the new book 1666: A Novel, author Lora Chilton, a member of the tribe, imagines the legendary story behind the tribe’s survival based on written colonial records and tribal oral tradition. This fictionalized reimagining is told from the point of view of the two women who managed to escape slavery in Barbados and separately make their way back to Virginia. Their escape and return is why the tribe is in existence today.\nAUTHOR LORA CHILTON\n \nA member of the Patawomeck Indian Tribe of Virginia, Lora Chilton tells the story of her people and their unlikely survival due to the courage of three Patawomeck women. As a part of the process, she interviewed tribal elders, researched colonial documents and studied the Patawomeck language. Chilton graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. She has worked as a Registered Nurse, a small business owner, an elected official, a non-profit executive and a writer. Memphis is her home. 1666: A Novel is her second work of historical fiction.\n \n–\n\nChilton’s talk and book signing is a part of the Historic 1666 Route of the Patawomeck Women Book Tour. To honor the women who suffered this ordeal and to pay tribute to the tribe’s ultimate survival in part because of these two courageous women, author Lora Chilton’s book tour will follow this imagined route from Fredericksburg through Richmond and Williamsburg to Hampton in Virginia.\nAt each event, Lora will share how she came to write this story, how she studied the Patawomeck language, interviewed the elders of her tribe who kept the story alive through oral tradition, as well as conducted her own research. Lora tells a powerful story of discovering her own heritage and then uncovering this story that up until now has only been known within the tribe.\nYou also may view postings on Chilton’s social media throughout the tour.\n
