IS GIVING A BOOK TALK ON SEPTEMBER 22nd IN ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA
|
Meet the author who discovered a true story of heroism during the Revolutionary War. AFL member Libby McNamee wrote a historical novel about young Susanna’s ride to save Lafayette from the British. Her story has inspired young girls and boys everywhere.
What better place to learn about the heroism of a young girl in the Revolutionary War than the oldest house in Arlington? John and Elizabeth Ball, the builders of this house in the 1700s, had five daughters who could have been inspired by the hero of this true story.
Bring your family and a blanket or lawn chair. There will be sweet colonial era treats and beverages. Books will be available for purchase and the author will be happy to sign them.
