Marilyn Toole on her novel The Flight of the Soiled Dove

Marilyn, a former branch member, taught genealogy for 35 years in the Philadelphia area and served on the boards of the Genealogy Society of Philadelphia and the Main Line Genealogy Club. She has served as a speaker for over 40 local groups.

Marilyn published her first novel, The Flight of the Spoiled Dove, at the age of 88. Based on her research into her own family history, it is the story of a woman trafficked into an exclusive brothel in 1876 Chicago. Through perseverance and determination the heroine eventually achieves a good life. Marilyn will appear in period costume to tell us about her research and about writing the novel. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Proceeds from book sales will be donated to an organization that fights present day human trafficking.

Do join us to hear about this fascinating historical novel. Guests are always welcome.
