LITERATURE + LECTURES

Prepare yourself for another great author event on Wednesday, November 17, as Brazos Bookstore welcomes Texas author, Kathleen Kent. From 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM she will read from and sign her latest novel, The Wolves of Andover.

In the harsh wilderness of colonial Massachusetts, Martha Allen works as a servant in her cousin's household, taking charge and locking wills with everyone. Thomas Carrier labors for the family and is known both for his immense strength and size and mysterious past. The two begin a courtship that suits their independent natures, with Thomas slowly revealing the story of his part in the English Civil War.

But in the rugged new world they inhabit, danger is ever present, whether it be from the assassins sent from London to kill the executioner of Charles I or the wolves-in many forms-who hunt for blood. A love story and a tale of courage, The Wolves of Andover confirms Kathleen Kent's ability to craft powerful stories of family from colonial history.

About the author: Kathleen Kent’s debut of rich historical fiction, The Heretic’s Daughter, was a New York Times bestseller that won nationwide acclaim. She lives in Dallas with her husband and son. Her second novel will again feature Martha Carrier, Kathleen Kent’s ancestor and the heroine of The Heretic’s Daughter.
