Author Event: Christy Tallamy - Sugarcane Saint: The First Book of Ruth

Join us as we host Virginian author Christy Tallamy and her deeply researched historical novel, Sugarcane Saint. Set in the segregated American South and spanning fifty years of American history, the Book of Ruth trilogy begins with Sugar Cane Saint and lays out in brutal honesty how deeply our road is defined by the family to which we are born. As Ruth's story unravels in harrowing detail, a vivid comparison between a benign and abusive patriarchy reveals a startling thin line between the two. It is a story that explores how violence breeds further violence, leaving the next generation to navigate its painful legacy.
