Vanessa Miller in conversation with Lisa Wingate

Vanessa Miller and Lisa Wingate, two celebrated authors, engage in a compelling conversation during Women's Herstory Month. Vanessa's forthcoming novel, "The Filling Station," intricately weaves the narratives of two sisters navigating the tumultuous 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. As they escape along the becoming-iconic Route 66, they find solace at the Threatt Filling Station, their refuge in a discriminatory Jim Crow America. On the other hand, Lisa Wingate's "Shelterwood," chronicles the brave women pioneers who valiantly shielded children from the avarice of powerful land barons chasing after oil riches. This conversation between the two authors forms a harmonious blend that is sure to captivate readers during Women's Herstory Month, resonating with tales of strength, resilience, and historical significance taking place at Traphene Hickman Library.
