Program Description
Event Details
Join author Ellen Marie Wiseman, author of the New York Times bestseller THE LOST GIRLS OF WILLOWBROOK, at Theodore's Books in Oyster Bay to celebrate the publication of her newest novel.
Known for writing novels based on real historical events, Ellen Marie Wiseman is often praised for the compassion, depth, and prescience with which she explores often forgotten yet shockingly timely episodes from the not-too-distant past. Now, in her seventh novel, THE LIES THEY TOLD, she turns to America’s dark history with eugenics in the early decades of the 20th century with the story of a young immigrant mother who survives near-starvation in post-WWI Germany to fight for her daughter, her dignity, and her life in 1930s America.
Wiseman will give a 30-minute presentation on the history behind the novel, followed by a Q&A and signing. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event. Only books purchased from Theodore's will be signed.
