Join us for an evening with bestselling author Katherine Sherbrooke as she discusses her book Leaving Coy's Hill. She is an alumna of Dartmouth College and Stanford Business School, and wanted to be an author from the time she opened her first book. Leaving Coy’s Hill, her third book, was selected by the Massachusetts Book Awards for an Honors in Fiction Award, and is an unforgettable novel based on the remarkable life of pioneering feminist and abolitionist Lucy Stone.

Copies of Leaving Coy's Hill will be set aside at the Circulation desk, and available as an ebook and digital audiobook on Hoopla and Libby.

This event is free and open to the public, and all are welcome to attend. Registration is requested. Please register using the link below.

Katherine Sherbrooke is the author of Leaving Coy's Hill, Fill the Sky, and the memoir Finding Home. An alumna of Dartmouth College and Stanford Business School, she lived on books like food and water for a long time. Somewhere along the line, though, she caught the start-up bug and co-founded a Boston based company called Circles. After that wonderful 15 year+ entrepreneurial adventure, she "remembered" her original dream and finally sat down to write. She lives outside Boston with her family. Learn more at her website.

Based on true events, Leaving Coy’s Hill is a timeless story of women’s quest for personal and professional fulfillment within society’s stubborn constraints. As an abolitionist and women’s rights activist fighting for the future of a deeply divided country, Lucy Stone’s quest to live a life on her own terms is as relevant as ever. In this “propulsive,” “astonishing,” and “powerful” story, Katherine Sherbrooke brings to life a true American heroine for a new generation.
