In our Cooks + Books series, we’ll read our favorite books and cook up recipes inspired by the story within. Young chefs will spark their imaginations in this hands-on literary and culinary experience! This online workshop is limited to 30 attendees and will not be recorded so spaces will go quickly.

Join us at the next installment of the Speaker at the Center with Author Patricia Brandon where she will discuss her historical fiction novel, "Rise of the Pale Moon." Set against the backdrop of the Revolutionary War era in coastal South Carolina, Rise of the Pale Moon weaves a compelling tale of three young women from distinct backgrounds: an indentured servant from London, a chattel slave raised on the Montague Hall plantation, and a Catawba Indian captured by the Cherokee and traded into slavery.
