Event Details

Join us to discuss Susan Rivers' The Second Mrs. Hockaday, a historical novel inspired by true events, set during wartime in the American South. It follows Placidia, who witnesses the collapse of the social order in her homeland and undergoes a profound transformation in her views on race and family. Blending themes of love, racial divide and the South's wartime decline, the story explores how one generation—and the next—began to reimagine their world.
