Inaugural Selection of The Book Canopy: Breena Clarke’s Stand The Storm



You can view March 2021’s inaugural Book Canopy discussion with Breena Clarke and Chesray Dolpha. Breena and Chesray led the discussion of Breena’s Stand the Storm, an historical novel whose relevance today is reflected in People Magazine’s description: “an affecting story about two freed slaves living in Washington, D.C., before the Civil War, struggling to stay alive—and help others escape—in a land that won't protect them.” Breena and Chesray explore the importance of historical fiction in providing facts excluded from the national narrative.
