Join us for an evening to hear author Libby Carty McNamee recount the heroic story of Susanna Bolling’s ride to warn the Marquis de Lafayette of General Cornwallis’ plans to capture him. Her book, Susanna’s Midnight Ride, tells the story of a young girl and her family in Virginia during period right after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in March 1781 and through Cornwallis’s entry into Virginia later that year.
McNamee is an author, speaker, lawyer, and a US Army Veteran. Susanna’s Midnight Ride: The Girl Who Won the Revolutionary War is her first published novel. The 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards named it #1 in Juvenile Fiction. Also in 2020, the Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards named it #1 in Juvenile Fiction, and it was a Finalist in Historical Fiction by the Best Book Awards. McNamee will have copies of her book for sale through Historic Camden.
