Tea & Sympathy historical fiction book club — ADA HANCOCK & LE CHAT NOIR

Did you know a ship carrying a box full of Wells Fargo gold sunk under suspicious circumstances off the Southern California coast in the 1800s?
We'll be looking at the people and places associated with the true tale as we dive into the story of a young woman's battle against "expectations" of the era
JANUARY 22 at 7pm
at Studio 14
for our first meeting of the
TEA & SYMPATHY historical fiction book club
There will be spoilers, but that won't ruin your reading experience. So if you haven't finished (or started) Ada Hancock & le chat noir, come anyway to enjoy some California history and connect some dots
By request of those who live in other states, we'll set up a videochat for remote participation
For those in person, there will be tea treats!
