Author Event: Jessie Haas – Dearest Blood: A Romance of the Revolution

The community is invited to this author event with local writer, Jessie Haas, for the release of her latest book, Dearest Blood: A Romance of the Revolution. This novel is inspired by the true story of Fanny Montresor, a young woman with a secret identity whose love and loyalties crossed both sides of the American Revolution. Set in 1775, during the turmoil that led to the Westminster Massacre, and in 1783, as peace was returning. All are welcome.
