À propos de ce contenu audio
“Poignant and deeply absorbing. McCoy weaves this moving tale of two women finding their way with style and thoughtfulness.”—Madeline Miller, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Circe and The Song of Achilles
When Sarah Brown, daughter of abolitionist John Brown, realizes that her artistic talents may be able to help save the lives of slaves fleeing north, she becomes one of the Underground Railroad’s leading mapmakers, taking her cues from the Slave Quilt codes and hiding her maps within her paintings. As the country steers toward civil war, Sarah faces difficult sacrifices that could put all she loves in peril.
A century and a half later, Eden Anderson, reeling from personal disappointment, moves with her husband to an old house in suburban Washington, D.C., a last-ditch effort to save their marriage and start a family. In the house’s cellar, she discovers a long-hidden porcelain doll that holds extraordinary secrets from the days of the Underground Railroad.
Sarah and Eden’s connection soon bridges the past with the present, forcing each of them to define courage, family, love, and legacy in a new way, illustrating the ways in which history and destiny are interconnected on one enormous, intricate map.

Commentaires
“Lovingly construction . . . passionately told . . . compelling . . . McCoy deftly intertwines a historical tale with a modern one. . . . The Mapmaker’s Children not only honors the accomplishments of a little-known woman but artfully demonstrates how fate carries us in unexpected directions, no matter how we might try to map out our lives.”—The Washington Post
“The Mapmaker’s Children is marked by rich, closely observed storytelling full of warmth and heart.”—Charles Frazier, New York Times bestselling author of National Book Award winner Cold Mountain
“The lacing of the two plots is seamless. . . . McCoy’s unquestionably a gifted author.”—Dallas Morning News
“Defining moments of bravery and resilience echo across generations for a truly satisfying story.”—Laura Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of The Chaperone
“Linking a contemporary woman named Eden with the daughter of abolitionist John Brown is a provocative idea, and McCoy has the skills to pull off something talk-worthy.”—Library Journal’s Hot Book Club Reads Pick
“In vibrant yet unassuming prose, McCoy tells a story of womanhood past and present, asking big questions about family, courage, and love. Readers will enjoy solving the historical puzzle of the doll’s origins, but the book’s true strength is its portrayal of Eden and Sarah: two brave women bound together by the difficult, noble work of building worthwhile lives.”—Shelf Awareness
“Poignant and deeply absorbing. McCoy weaves this moving tale of two women finding their way with style and thoughtfulness.”—Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe and The Song of Achilles
“Sarah McCoy has illuminated a forgotten corner of American history with her signature empathy and spirit.”—Mary Doria Russell, author of Doc and Epitaph
“Engaging and emotionally charged . . . Eden’s realization that ‘what fable and history could agree upon was that everyone was searching for their ever-after, whatever that may be’ neatly sums up the novel’s heart—it’s about the family and the life we create, not always the ones we imagine for ourselves.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A fascinating peek into the personal life of the legendary John Brown and keep the pages turning. The Mapmaker’s Children serves as a reminder of how objects persist, such as Sarah’s doll, and how memories connected with those objects can last through generations.”—BookPage
