SUMMARY:Andrea Wang & Lauren H. Kerstein In Conversation at Boulder Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Wang (WFYP\, June 2011) and Lauren H. Kerstein will speak about and sign their new books\, Worthy: The Brave and Capable Life of Joseph Pierce\, and Hope Rode at Boulder Bookstore. This is a FREE kid’s event\, but registration is required. \n\n\n\nAbout Worthy:Worthy is the true story of a man of indomitable spirit. In the mid-nineteenth century\, an impoverished father from Canton\, China\, sold his young son to an American sea captain\, Amos Peck. The boy\, dubbed “Joe\,” worked on the ship for months\, not knowing if his fate was to do so forever. Or would he be sold again? When the ship returned to America\, Captain Peck brought the young boy to his family\, who raised him with the other children. Joe Pierce grew\, gave distinguished service in the Union Army\, married\, had children and ultimately became an American citizen–all at a time when anti-Chinese prejudice was rampant. \n\n\n\nAbout Hope Rode:Following the Great Depression\, literacy rates in the country had dwindled\, and education and opportunities were harder to come by\, especially in areas like rural Appalachia. But still\, there was a dream: a vision of a nation in which reading was accessible to all—even those in the most remote places. \n\n\n\nThe Packhorse Library project of the 1930s and 1940s called upon Kentucky women to make that vision a reality and rise to the difficult and demanding job of delivering books on horseback. The Packhorse librarians were brave\, steadfast\, and resilient. For years\, the women endured rough terrain\, harsh conditions\, and exhaustion. And with each book delivered and reading lesson taught\, the librarians ushered in a new era for Kentuckians. \n\n\n\nHope Rode tells the true story of the strength\, courage\, and conviction of the Packhorse librarians.
