to enrich lives and build community by bringing information, ideas and people together
Join us online on Thursday, June 5 at 6:30 PM for an evening with acclaimed true-crime author and podcaster Kate Winkler Dawson. She’ll discuss her new book, The Sinners All Bow, which explores the 1832 death of Sarah Maria Cornell—a factory worker found dead under mysterious circumstances—and the scandal that followed her connection to a prominent minister. With ties to Norwich’s Leffingwell House, this fascinating case helped inspire The Scarlet Letter and America’s first true-crime book. This is a virtual event; registration is required.
