Told with grace and emotional clarity, Miss Blue Jacket is the story of a woman who perseveres against the odds-navigating grief, faith, and the upheavals of a divided country-all while raising a child destined to become a voice for justice. Christopher Jennings With lyrical prose and vivid historical detail, Miss Blue Jacket brings to life the untold story of a woman whose love, sacrifice, and integrity helped shape one of the most influential reformers in American history. Elizabeth Collins In Miss Blue Jacket, the forgotten story of Frances Lloyd Garrison emerges from the shadows of history. This powerful historical novel is a tribute to the women who shape great men, even when history forgets their names. Mary Reynolds

Author Information

Gary McIlroy's essays on Henry David Thoreau, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Annie Dillard have appeared in journals such as American Literature, South Atlantic Quarterly, and The Thoreau Quarterly, as well as in the anthologies Earthly Words (University of Michigan Press) and Contemporary American Criticism (Gale Press). His 2023 book, Turtles on a Black Gum Tree (Amazon KDP), offers a creative retelling of the life of Charles Ball, whose 1837 autobiography, Slavery in the United States, had not been reissued in a new edition for more than 150 years. His most recent novel, Beneath the Blushing Sky, set in 1965, is a coming-of-age story about a freshman basketball player caught up in the allure of a popular girl and the delinquency of his closest friend.
