New Releases: “Great Day in the Morning”

May 22, 2015 By Jan Leave a Comment

9k=Deb Mohr will read from her new book “Great Day in the Morning” at 5 p.m. Sunday, May 31 at Tsunami Books, 2585 Willamette St., Eugene.

“Forgotten and perhaps unknown by some, is the epic struggle black people and a number of white people living in mid-century Mississippi, as they fought to obtain voting and public transportation rights for blacks.

In “Great Day in the Morning,” Grace Ann Dunbar, daughter of a Mississippi planter and artist, works through her own personal conflicts before becoming immersed in this important movement.”

Mohr, a Eugene author, was commissioned in 2012 to write an essay for The Oregon Quarterly on her experience living in a sorority house at the University of Oregon. The article, “Cross Burning at Gamma Phi Beta,” won the National Gold Award in Feature Writing from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.

Her new book is available on Amazon and Kindle.

Deb Mohr’s Novel Published

February 25, 2012 By Becky Kjelstrom

The Flume Tender's Daughter CoverDeb Mohr’s novel is out. Set in the early 20th Century, The Flume Tender’s Daughter is the story of a Northwest logger’s daughter, Linnie Bede, who struggles to enlighten women about birth control.

Through Frank Dobbs, a fiery left-wing orator, Linnie meets activists and sees in her own world of ignorance and poverty the need for education on this subject. Political restraints are rampant. Linnie is imprisoned repeatedly, her clinic is burned, and women’s health records are destroyed, but she remains committed to her work.

The Flume Tender’s Daughter can be purchased through Amazon.com, Kindle, at Eugene indie bookstore, Tsunami Books, or ordered from your favorite bookstore.

ISBN:-13: 9781453776131.
