Robin Oliveira, author of the 2015 All Iowa Reads selection My Name is Mary Sutter, will appear to discuss her novel during two Quad City area appearances on Thursday, April 23. Presentations will take place at noon at the Moline Public Library (3210 41st Street) and at 7 p.m. at the Bettendorf Public Library (2950 Learning Campus Drive).
Robin will share what inspired her to write this Civil War era novel, her research process, and the historical and fictional characters that bring her story to life. She will also share her discoveries from her eight years of research and writing, including slides and photos of rare Civil War artifacts from the National Archives.
These events are free and open to the public. Robin Oliveira's appearances are generously sponsored by Friends of the Moline Public Library and Friends of the Bettendorf Public Library.
