Watch for these new books in the Fascinating…but Forgotten series!
In A Sister’s Name
A collection of poems, essays and letters written by African-American poet Sarah Louisa Forten Purvis in Antebellum Philadephia. Although she has been represented in several anthologies and online articles, work has never been brought together in one volume. With a comprehensive and exhaustively researched biography. Publication date: early 2026.
The Anarchist’s Bride
Patricia’s next full-length nonfiction project is the story of a woman born as the Civil War ended into a well-connected and privileged Philadelphia family. As a pampered only child, she was educated at Wilson College in Pennsylvania, and Vassar College in New York before moving to Chicago with her parents. There, her fate took a turn as she became involved with the Chicago Anarchists. Publication date: Spring, 2026.
Elijah’s Wife
Patricia is just starting the research behind the story of a woman who married her first cousin as a young girl, and rose with him to become the co-leader of a religious cult based in the United States in the early 20th Century. With that rise came wealth, fame and tragedy. Publication date forthcoming.
