Event Description
Step back to Coventry, England, in 1831 for a powerful story of injustice, resilience, and the courage of ordinary people who refuse to abandon one of their own.
Inspired by true events, Book One of the Thomas Burbury Series brings history vividly to life through a gripping tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and determination. Drawing on six years of meticulous research into letters, petitions, and court records, author S.J. Thornton has transformed a forgotten chapter of history into an unforgettable novel.
Join S.J. Thornton as she shares the fascinating research behind the book and the extraordinary real-life events that inspired this compelling work of historical fiction.
