“Island Queen” by Vanessa Riley is a historical novel based on a true person, and it is definitely New-to-Us!
We read about the extraordinary life of Dorothy Kirwan who was determined to be a free person and to succeed in making her family and others free too!
From aged five to decades later, we followed her through the islands of the Caribbean and even through some trips to the Scotland and England. She had losses and wins in business and love, however she kept moving forward.
We’re absolutely excited to speak to author Vanessa Riley about Dorothy Kirwan Thomas as the main character of her historical novel and as the trailblazer she was in reality. Join us for our “Pot-tail Pondering” segment on Friday, November 12th at 5:00pm EST when we further discuss “Island Queen!”
