The Newport Art Museum book group has added the first book in the series, Orla’s Canvas, to its slate of books for 2023! https://newportartmuseum.org/events/orlas-canvas/ Orla’s Canvas fits right in to the museum’s “book group especially for art enthusiasts.” Readers are sure to be enthralled by this tale of coming of age in a difficult time featuring Orla, “a remarkable young heroine with the soul of an artist” which provides “a gripping look into a historic moment in American culture,” the civil rights era in the American South. Orla’s Canvas is also available as an audiobook brilliantly narrated by actress Billie Bryant. https://tinyurl.com/ayucr564
