In-person: Celebrating Nancy Bourne’s new book of stories about the civil rights-era South
Presented by Michael Bourne, Daniel Coshnear, and Jo-Anne Rosen
Spotswood, Virginia – from Virginia-native writer and educator Nancy Bourne – is an engaging collection of stories of ordinary people forced to make difficult decisions, based on Bourne's colorful childhood in a racially divided American South during the Civil Rights era.
Nancy Bourne’s stories in Spotswood, Virginia take place in the racially troublesome mid-twentieth century south and include mob violence, political cowardice, family conflict, and mental illness. The focus of the collection is on everyday people forced to make decisions in a morally confused and deeply divided world.
As a writer and a native of the south, Bourne presents the conflicts faced by her characters as honestly as she can without judging their choices, crafting illustrations of humanity and the heart.
