SUMMARY:Julia Park Tracey Brings WHOA, NELLY! to Books Inc. in Alameda, CA
DESCRIPTION:Join Alameda’s author Julia Park Tracey for a conversation with Bronwyn Emery, founder of To Live and Write in Alameda, on the topic of Laura Ingalls Wilder for Grownups.\nBooks will be available to purchase at the event.\nAbout Whoa, Nelly!\nShe went looking for Laura. She found herself.\nLonely librarian Nelly sets out to walk in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s footsteps—only to find that the prairie isn’t as romantic as she imagined. As she confronts the darker legacies of the Little House series—racism, revisionist nostalgia, and the shadowy influence of Rose Wilder Lane—Nelly must reckon with her own buried truths.\nAlong the way, there’s a clever, slow-burn romance with a modern-day Almanzo, a rivalry with a would-be Laura, and a blizzard that will test everything Nelly thought she knew about courage and care. By the time she boards the train home, Nelly has rescued more than just a child in danger—she’s reclaimed her own story.\nWhoa, Nelly! A Love Story (with Footnotes) is a sharp, soulful heroine’s journey for the literary misfits, the daughters of difficult mothers, and anyone who ever found solace in a well-worn paperback.\nAbout Julia Park Tracey:\nJulia Park Tracey is an award-winning journalist and author of nine books, with an emphasis on women’s history and her female ancestors’ stories. Inspired by a mysterious train receipt in her family’s scrapbook, she researched her Orphan Train roots and continues to write novels about her found relatives. A lifelong fan of the Little House books, Tracey put her train-traveling time when crossing the American prairie to good use when she toured for her previous novels.\n
