BookBreak: A Museum Book Discussion Group
June 5, 2014 @ 12:15 pm - 1:15 pm
Author Sandra Redding will join us for a lunchtime discussion of her book, Naomi Wise: A Cautionary Tale.
Imbued with mystery and romance, this historical novel is based on the true story of Naomi Wise, an orphan who lived in Randolph County, North Carolina during the early 1800s, and was murdered. Like Naomi, author Sandra Redding grew up near the banks of Deep River. There, as a child, she heard the sad tales and haunting songs describing how the orphan was murdered by devious Jonathan Lewis, the man who promised to marry her.
Drinks and desserts provided. Copies will be available for loan at the Greensboro Historical Museum Shop, at www.sandraredding.com and various online booksellers. To hear the haunting folk ballad based on this story, google “Doc Watson” and “Omi Wise.” For more information, contact linda.evans@greensboro-nc.gov.
