Elisa Brinton, a new young author who is currently residing in the Inland Northwest, will be doing a signing of her book Courage to Stand: Stories of Young Strength and Triumph in Adversity.
As a young girl of only 14, she may have found her career barely out of Junior High. Her own website states, "I first developed an interest in writing when I was in elementary school (in the 2nd grade!). [...] I
took a real interest in the Civil War era as I studied it for an
independent project and class presentation I was doing in our school’s
G/T program when I was in the 5th grade. I found that as I became
further involved in this project, the Civil War became very real to me."
Reviewers have been raving about her book, stating that, "As historical fiction, Courage to Stand is a compelling and well
written series of stories. The many plots and themes will inspire
reflection regarding current conflicts taking place around the world. It
is a well researched book that will be enjoyed by readers who
appreciate historical fiction rooted in young heroines confronting and
overcoming enormous adversity."
Stopping by the signing and meeting Elisa might give other young writers a boost of confidence!
