Author Talk: "Shipyard Gals" Comes to the Park

Join us for a special afternoon at the Visitor Education Center on Sunday, January 11 at 2:00 pm, as author Valerie Stoller joins historian Jim Davis for an engaging conversation about her new novel, Shipyard Gals: A Novel.

Set against the backdrop of the WWII home front, Shipyard Gals brings to life the experiences of women who stepped into industrial jobs and helped power the war effort. Valerie Stoller and Jim Davis will explore the history that inspired the novel, the real stories behind the fiction, and what these women’s lives can teach us today.

The talk will take place in the theater downstairs at the Visitor Education Center. Copies of Shipyard Gals will be available for purchase in the gift shop, and attendees will have the opportunity to get their books signed by the author.

We hope you’ll join us for this lively discussion celebrating women, history, and storytelling.
