Julia Park Tracey at the Alameda Free Library for Talk in September

Based on the author’s research into her grandfather’s past as an adopted child, and the surprising discovery of his family of origin and how he came to be adopted, Julia Park Tracey has created a mesmerizing work of historical fiction illuminating the darkest side of the Orphan Train.

Julia Park Tracey’s ancestors and their stories have given her a trail to follow from New York and New England to the deep south and the Pacific Coast. Join us on Saturday, September 23rd at 2PM to learn more about The Bereaved, Julia Park Tracey’s new book, out now and available to borrow from the Library!
