Afternoon Tea with Tracey Enerson Wood, author of “Katharine, The Wright Sister”
Join us for Afternoon Tea with national and international bestselling author Tracey Enerson Wood, author of “Katharine, The Wright Sister,” a vibrant historical novel about the unsung hero behind the groundbreaking aeronautical achievement of Wilbur and Orville Wright: their sister. Wilbur and Orville Wright risked life and limb in their pursuit of human flight, but their sister, Katherine, was the behind-the-scenes mastermind of their inventions. She sourced materials, managed communications and kept Wilbur and Orville focused on their goal—even when it seemed hopeless—all at the expense of her own unique dreams and plans. But the Wright brothers’ success in 1903 wasn’t the end of her sacrifice. At the height of Wilbur and Orville’s fame, tragedy rips them apart time and again, forcing Katherine to make choices that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
Perfect for fans of Marie Benedict and Fiona Davis, “Katharine, The Wright Sister” is an intricate and refreshingly emotional historical novel that reveals the story of one of the most consequential women to ever live and the incredible, courageous choices she made so that others might fly.
Refreshments will be served, and books will be available for purchase from Copper Dog Books of Beverly, Massachusetts.
Tracey Enerson Wood is a retired registered nurse and published playwright whose family is steeped in military tradition. She is the national and international bestselling author of “The Engineer’s Wife,” “The War Nurse,” and “The President’s Wife.” She lives near Tampa, Florida.
