In this program Elizabeth Winthrop will give a slide-show presentation on
the creative process that took her from photograph to story and will also detail her exhaustive and ultimately successful search for the actual child in the photograph.
Counting on Grace has received rave reviews and has been selected by the state of Vermont as its 2007 Community Read. In addition to young readers, this program will be of particular interest to teachers, librarians, literature students, historians, and genealogists.
Elizabeth Winthrop is the author of over fifty works of fiction, most recently the highly acclaimed historical novel
Counting on Grace.
Her book was inspired by an iconic photograph by great child-labor photographer Lewis Hine, of a 12-year-old girl named Addie in North Pownal, Vermont in 1910.
