SUMMARY:Local Author Meet & Greet: Karen Marshall\, "Finding My Father's Footsteps"
DESCRIPTION:Stop in the library on Sunday\, November 17th between 1:00 and 
 3:00 pm and meet local author and historian Karen Marshall in the front 
 lobby. Karen will have her book “Finding My Father’s Footsteps” on 
 display and will be happy to discuss the book\, sign a copy for you and 
 talk about her writing journey.\n\nFinding My Father’s Footsteps: A 
 Journey Within the Battlefields of WWII\n\nPart memoir and part historical 
 chronicle\, the story is woven into the 4th Infantry Division’s\, 22nd 
 Infantry Regiment’s battle through Europe during WWII. Lt. John Sisson 
 landed on D-Day with the 22nd and despite injuries in Normandy and the 
 Hurtgen Forest was with the regiment on VE Day. \n\nThe author based the 
 book on her father’s secret manuscript written in January 1945 detailing 
 his service and a family mystery concerning Heinrich Himmler\, Nazi 
 mastermind. She states\, “I began the book to try to understand my 
 father’s silence about war. I finished the book to honor that silence.” 
 \n\nMs. Marshall is a historian living in Chester County\, PA where she has 
 done extensive research on historic properties and events including the 
 Battle of Brandywine\, waged September 11\, 1777. It is her hope that her 
 book will inspire others to research their untold family stories and will 
 be happy to discuss ways to do this during the meet and greet.\n\nThis 
 program supports PA Forward®\, an initiative of the Pennsylvania Library 
 Association that highlights libraries’ role in moving Pennsylvania 
 forward. Libraries are key to powering progress\, elevating the quality of 
 life by fueling the types of knowledge essential to its success.
