FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Acclaimed family history author Adele Myers will be at the Cumberland County Headquarters Library Sunday, March 3, at 3 p.m. to share the captivating story of her debut novel The Tobacco Wives. The event will take place in the Pate Room of Headquarters Library, located at 300 Maiden Lane in Fayetteville.
In The Tobacco Wives, Myers offers a hidden story of women’s post-war activism in North Carolina. Drawing from her family history, Myers sheds light on the inspiration behind her compelling narrative, which offers a feminist perspective on one of the largest corporate frauds of the 20th century.

Following the presentation will be a book signing with copies of The Tobacco Wives available for purchase.
