Fans of The Widow of the South and Cold Mountain won't want to miss this event with Robin Oliveira. Her debut novel, My Name is Mary Sutter, is a sweeping Civil War drama with a determined, headstrong young midwife at its center. Mary Sutter dreams of being a surgeon but in Albany, New York, prejudice against women in medicine stand in her way. Mary, eager to escape her recent heartbreak, travels to Washington D.C. where she helps tend to wounded soldiers. There, two surgeons fall in love with her will and courage. And there, while resisting her mother's pleas to come home, she pursues her career in the overwhelmed hospitals of the capital.
