“The Thinkin’ Rug” featured in Loudoun Now

March 3, 2021 by Waterford Foundation

Thank you @loudounnow for including Waterford historian and Foundation volunteer Bronwen Curtis Souders’ “The Thinkin’ Rug” in the recent arrival featuring local authors.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/loudounnow.com/2021/02/25/loudoun-authors-explore-local-legends/amp/

The book centers on Leven’s efforts to find an uncle who was given away in a secret adoption to escape enslavement before the Civil War. But Souders’ mission is also to give readers a sense of life in the Quaker village, known for its thriving African American community after the war.

The novel follows a year in Leven’s life through monthly events, including an Emancipation Day celebration in Purcellville.”
