Author Carolivia Herron will reading in the Sanctuary from her books for children ages 6 through adult.
Her new book, Always an Olivia, is the exciting tale of how the author’s Jewish ancestor, Sarah Shulamit, was stolen by pirates from Italy in 1805, and came to live with the Geechee African folk of the Georgia Sea Islands. Sarah Shulamit was rescued by U.S. Marines and by rabbis in Tripoli, Libya. Going even further back, Sarah’s ancestors were Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Spain and Portugal during the Spanish Inquisition in the 15th century.
