Adult Book Club
Follow the River
by James Alexander Thom
Please join us for one of our meetings of our Adult Book Club scheduled for Tuesday, November 11, at 1:30 pm and Friday, November 14, at 1:30 pm. We will be discussing the book “Follow the River” by James Alexander Thom.
Mary Ingles was twenty-three, happily married, and pregnant with her third child when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement in 1755 and kidnapped her, leaving behind a bloody massacre. For months they held her captive. But nothing could imprison her spirit.
With the rushing Ohio River as her guide, Mary Ingles walked one thousand miles through an untamed wilderness no white woman had ever seen. Her story lives on—extraordinary testimony to the indomitable strength of one pioneer woman who risked her life to return to her own people.
Copies of the book are available for checkout at the library.
