About the Event

Lau­ra Arnold Leib­man is a Pro­fes­sor of Eng­lish and Human­i­ties at Reed Col­lege and the win­ner of a Jor­dan Schnitzer Book Award and four Nation­al Jew­ish Book Awards. 

As obsessive genealogist and descendent of one of the most prominent Jewish families since the American Revolution, Blanche Moses firmly believed her maternal ancestors were Sephardic grandees. Using family heirlooms to unlock the mystery of her family, this non-fiction book overturns the reclusive heiress’ assumptions about her roots to reveal that her grandmother and great-uncle actually began their lives as poor Christian slaves in Barbados.
