Local Author Sallie Bingham reads from her new book The Blue Box

On Tuesday, September 16th at 7 PM Carmichael's is pleased to welcome author Sallie Bingham for a reading from her new book The Blue Box: Three Lives in Letters, a family history centered around three generations of women spanning the Civil War through the Jazz Age.

Of the book Ms. Bingham writes, "From roughly 2008undefined2011, I’ve had the deep plea­sure and priv­i­lege of work­ing on a col­lec­tion of papers found in the top of my mother’s closet after she died, let­ters from long for­got­ten rel­a­tives, mainly women, in Virginia, West Virginia and Georgia, cov­er­ing more than 150 years...I’m call­ing the book that resulted, 'The Blue Box' to com­mem­o­rate the large, sky-blue box in which my sis­ter Eleanor found this trea­sure trove."

We hope you'll be able to join us!
