Cozy up at home on a fall Sunday night, imagine being warmed by a campfire or fireplace, and join us to learn from Angeline Boulley author of Firekeeper's Daughter. Angeline will be speaking about Firekeeper’s Daughter, an engaging story that layers present-day midwestern Native experiences, a reckoning of historical and current injustices, and a powerful celebration of community. She will share about her experience writing Firekeeper's Daughter and, if we get lucky, we will get a little bonus info about her next book Warrior Girl Unearthed coming out in May 2023, and about Firekeeper's Daughter coming to Netflix. Don't miss out on your chance to hear from New York Times best-selling author Angeline Boulley as she speaks to the Cook County Community - bring your questions.
The 2022-2023 Cook County Community Read is possible thanks to Drury Lane, Grand Marais Public Library, CARE, and Cook County Higher Education.
