Thanks to the women of the Georgetown book club for having me at their summer meeting to discuss Marmee & Louisa and My Heart Is Boundless. It was a great crowd, very knowledgeable about the Alcotts and Mays.

The Pequot Library of Southport CT hosted a Marmee & Louisa talk as the book came out in paperback, joining its companion, My Heart Is Boundless, a paperback original.

Other bloggers have been doing interviews on the two Alcott books. View Q&As at:

In Portsmouth, RI, which celebrates the 375th anniversary of its founding by Anne Hutchinson this year, I was honored to give the Kearney Lecture — “Anne Hutchinson: Founding Mother or American Jezebel?” — at the Portsmouth Abbey School on October 25. To my left in the photo is Father Damian Kearney, who created the Kearney Lecture series in honor of his late brother, Gerald Kearney.
