Author Talk: Julia Park Tracey
October 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Meet the Author Julia Park Tracey!
Julia Park Tracey will present a slide show and talk about the Puritan era and her new book, “Silence: A Novel.” Julia’s novel features a Puritan woman named Silence who is sentenced to a year of silence by the church elders after emoting in church following three grievous losses. In that year of not speaking, Silence emerges as a woman with a voice — however, not before she is accused of witchcraft. This is the story of Julia’s seventh great-grandmother and is deeply researched through Ancestry.com. She will discuss the witch trials, the handicrafts of the era, the constraints on women, and the way women such as Silence Marsh found their voices despite those constraints.
