Sun 1st Breakout #6: AN EXTRAORDINARY AMERICAN LOVE STORY
By: Carrie Lightner
The most compelling nonfiction authors are able to tell a scrupulously-researched true story that reads like a great novel. That is certainly the case with Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom, ILYON WOO’s stirring Pulitzer Prize-winning biography. It is the singular American love story of an enslaved married couple, Ellen and William Craft, who in 1848 made a perilous 1,000-mile journey from bondage in Georgia to the free states of the North by posing as master and slave. In conversation with MARTHA WILLIAMS of The Community Library in Ketchum, Woo will talk about the journey of the Crafts, who became famous abolitionists, and how they are truly American revolutionaries.
