Here's What is Happening with Clara in a Time of War

The launch of Clara in a Time of War in September 2022 was just the beginning.  I continue to have many wonderful events and encounters as I take Clara on the road in the Philadelphia area. It’s been loads of fun! Thank you to everyone who has supported me by coming out to hear me speak or by buying a book. And thank you to all those libraries, historical sites, and organizations for hosting me.
