About the Author
Yaney is the author of “The Fourth of July” series, a trilogy of historical fiction books set during the Civil War. The three books tell the story of Louisa McLain and her two sons, George and Will from Delaware County. Sixty years after the war, on the Fourth of July, Louisa is in a nursing home, reading letters her sons sent her during the conflict. As the story unfolds, it is discovered that both George and Will were recruited as Union spies. They were sent perilously behind enemy lines, dressed as Confederate soldiers. They also became part of the abolitionists’ movement through the Underground Railroad, running slaves out of the South to freedom.
Books from the series will be available for purchase, with a signing opportunity. Program offered by the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center in parnership with Beech Grove Cemetery.
