The Museum Broken Arrow to Host Special Writers Event
For Immediate Release: Aug. 30, 2016
The Museum Broken Arrow will host a book discussion on Sept. 7 at 11:30 a.m. during Wednesday Writers at The Museum Broken Arrow, 400 S. Main St. in Broken Arrow. The event will showcase “The Oilman’s Daughter,” a memoir written by Jane Wilson Sheppard and edited by her daughter, Sally Bright. Bright will be present to discuss the book.
Bright edited her mother’s work after realizing the history her mother recorded should be shared and preserved.
“The Oilman’s Daughter” gives an inside look at Tulsa life during the 1920s and is detailed through memories and anecdotes of Sheppard’s childhood including early oil fields, county fairs, the Tulsa race riots and her life inside a convent school.
“We are thrilled to host Sally Bright at our upcoming Wednesdays Writers,” said Lori Lewis, executive director of The Museum Broken Arrow. “Everyone is invited to join us for this book discussion that will highlight the editing process behind this publication and explore the life and culture of Tulsa in the 1920s.”
“The Oilman’s Daughter” will be available for purchase at the event. In addition, there will be a drawing for a free copy.
Wednesday Writers is a series of presentations that allows attendees to listen to selected authors speak about the creative process and current writing. During each event the selected author will share how they harness their creative spirit to create a literary masterpiece.
Participants can either bring their lunch or pick one up from a local restaurant in the Rose District. Admission is free but donations are appreciated.
