Terri J. Haynes: "The Daughter of Shiloh"

About This Event

Lealie Bevard, a determined Tuskegee Institute student, attends the Shiloh Baptist Church convention in Birmingham on September 19, 1902, to request a scholarship for continued education at Harvard. But a beautiful gathering turns tragic when a stampede breaks out and Lealie is injured. While convalescing at the home of fellow Tuskegee student Milton Rafferty, Lealie’s concerns for her future are set aside to help Milton uncover a mystery revolving around missing church funds and a possible murder. Perhaps a pause in Lealie’s well-laid plans can be used for good. . .and lead to love. Maryland author, Terri J. Haynes, visits the Edmondson Avenue Branch Library, to share stories about the writing life and read excerpts from her new book, The Daughter of Shiloh. The author will be available for Q & A and a book signing after her presentation.
