Remembering Grace Brown in the North Woods

Thank you, Forever Wild, SUNY Cortland’s summer enrichment program for K-12 teachers, for inviting me to Camp Huntington on Raquette Lake to talk about my novel, A Northern Light. I was privileged to spend time with an incredible group of educators, all of whom inspired me with their passion and dedication.

A young woman named Grace Brown was the inspiration for A Northern Light and this week marks the 118th anniversary of her death. I can never visit the Adirondacks without thinking of her, and grieving for her, and wondering what her life would have been if she’d been allowed to live it.

Teachers, for information on applying to the Forever Wild program, see: https://www2.cortland.edu/departments/history/foreverwild/
