In Store Author event with Helen Sheehy
A family saga that captures the essence of rural America, Helen Sheehy's Just Willa spans seven decades of one woman’s life, taking us from the Dust Bowl to the Depression, from Roosevelt to Reagan. HELEN SHEEHY grew up on tenant farms in Oklahoma and Kansas. She’s worked as a dramaturg, written a theatre textbook, and authored biographies of three theatre pioneers: Margo: The Life and Theatre of Margo Jones (Southern Methodist University Press, 1989), Eva Le Gallienne: A Biography (Knopf, 1996), and Eleonora Duse: A Biography (Knopf, 2003). The latter two books were named New York Times notable books of the year. Sheehy taught theatre and acting at Southern Connecticut State University for more than two decades. After spending years writing non-fiction, she has turned to her earliest love, telling stories. She lives in Hamden, Connecticut. Just Willa is her first novel.
