Join us for our Historical Fiction Book Club! This month's book is Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson.

Travel back in time with our historical fiction book club! From political intrigue to daring romances, every month we visit a different period in time. Join us this November for Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson.

"Born on a plantation in Charles City, Virginia, Pheby Brown was promised her freedom on her eighteenth birthday. Instead she finds herself thrust into the bowels of slavery at the infamous Devil's Half-Acre, a jail where slaves are broken, tortured, and sold every day. Forced to become the mistress of the brutal man who owns the jail, Pheby's survival lies in outwitting him--even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice." -- adapted from jacket

Copies of the book can be picked up at the front desk at the Connie Morella Library, or you can borrow a digital copy from our online collection here.
