On Saturday, October 24th at 4:00pm PDT Warwick's will host Jill G. Hall as she discusses her new book, The Green Lace Corset. Jill G. Hall is the author of The Black Velvet Coat, an International Book Award Finalist for Best New Fiction, and The Silver Shoes, a Distinguished Favorite in the NYC Big Book Awards. Her poems have appeared in a variety of publications, including A Year in Ink, The Avocet, and Wild Women, Wild Voices. She lives in San Diego.
Anne McFarland, a modern-day, thirty-something San Francisco artist in search of spiritual guidance, buys a corset in a Flagstaff resale boutique - a purchase that results in her having to make a decision that will change her life forever.
One hundred and thirty-five years earlier, in 1885, naïve Sally Sue Sullivan, a young woman from the Midwest, is kidnapped on a train by a handsome but dangerous bank robber. Held prisoner on a homestead in Northern Arizona’s Wild West, Sally Sue discovers her own spunk and grit as she plots her escape.
Ultimately, both Anne and Sally Sue face their fears and find the strength to journey down their designated paths and learn the true meaning of love and family... with a little push from the same green lace corset.
