Lisa Alther will read from and sign copies of her latest novel Washed In the Blood. This unique three-part historical novel explores race in the Southeast through a multi-generational story beginning in 1567 with Diego Martin whose daughter marries a Quaker from Philadelphia. The family divides into a merchant class that lives in town and their racially mixed cousins who live in the wilderness as the story follows the strife and forbidden love that divide their descendents. Alther is the bestselling author of five novels, among them the critically acclaimed Kinflicks, and a family memoir, Kinfolks: Falling Off the Family Tree.
