I was so excited to read Love, Theodosia by Lori Anne Goldstein, a fictional retelling of Romeo and Juliet with Theodosia Burr and Philip Hamilton. While the relationship is of the author’s imagination, she has grounded the story in real historical events, people, and locations. That’s the best reason to be a historical fiction writer, we’re not bound by the exact details of history but use them to inspire a beautiful story.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful day making memories with your family!

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, many people automatically think of the Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Did you know that the first planned English Thanksgiving was celebrated in Virginia two years before the Pilgrims? I reviewed @berkeleyplantation, the site of the first Thanksgiving, two years ago but have updated the review with pictures from this year’s Virginia Thanksgiving Festival. Check it out and learn the story behind it! #thehistorymom #berkeleyplantation #virginiathanksgivingfestival
