Please join us for the first meeting of the Flanagan Historical Fiction book club, taking place on Sunday, January 26 at 4:00pm. We'll be discussing The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon, a mystery inspired by the life of Martha Ballard. Martha was a 18th century midwife in Maine. A clever and brave story of scandal and justice, this is a discussion you won't want to miss. The discussion will be held at historic John C. Flanagan House Museum, Peoria's oldest standing home built in 1837.
Free and open to the public. Reservations suggested but not necessary, by calling 309.674.1921
