Eve LaPlante, author of Marmee & Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother, will speak at the annual Holiday Luncheon hosted by the Friends of the SMU Libraries. The luncheon is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Thursday at Royal Oaks Country Club. Admission is $40, which includes a signed copy of Marmee & Louisa, which Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham, author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, called “an important book about an important relationship. Writing engagingly and with precision, Eve LaPlante sheds new light on the Alcott story, a story that is in some ways is the story of America.”
