The Book Club’s first meeting this fall will be on Tuesday, October 7, and we will be welcoming a special guest that evening! The author of our selection for that meeting, Come August, Come Freedom, Gigi Amateau, will be joining us for a conversation. Please mark your calendars for this wonderful event, and be sure to join us and invite your friends that night. This book is classified as a young adult book but is a compelling story of the events surrounding Gabriel’s Rebellion, a slave uprising in Henrico County in 1800. Gigi lives in Richmond and did an enormous amount of research while writing this book. It is based on fact. This promises to be an evening that you do not want to miss!
