Ellen B. Alden will talk about her book Yours Faithfully, Florence Burke at the Charlestown Branch Library, 179 Main St., on Monday, October 23, at 6:30 p.m.
Local author Ellen B. Alden found a leather box in her attic, filled with Civil War letters from her Irish immigrant great-great-grandfather Florence Burke to his family in Massachusetts, and the inspiration for a historical fiction novel. Join her for a look at the letters, research, and labors of love that went into the writing of her book. For more information, call Charlestown Branch Library at 617-212-1248.
