DuBois.It’s 1995, and fourteen-year-old Tati is determined to uncover the identity of her father. But her mother, Nadia, keeps her secrets close, while her grandmother Gladys remains silent about the family’s past, including why she left Land’s End, Alabama, in 1953. As Tati digs deeper, she uncovers a legacy of family secrets, where every generation of Dupree women has posed more questions than answers.From Jubi in 1917, whose attempt to pass for white ends when she gives birth to Ruby; to Ruby’s fiery lust for Sampson in 1934 that leads to a baby of her own; to the night in 1980 that changed Nadia’s future forever, the Dupree women carry the weight of their heritage. Bound by a mysterious malediction that means they will only give birth to daughters, the Dupree women confront a legacy of pain, resilience, and survival that began with an enslaved ancestor who risked everything for freedom.The Seven Daughters of Dupree masterfully weaves together themes of generational trauma, Black women’s resilience, and unbreakable familial bonds. Echoing the literary power of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis, Nikesha Elise Williams delivers a feminist literary fiction that explores the ripple effects of actions, secrets, and love through seven generations of Black women. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-a-good-yarn-book-club-the-seven-daughters-of-dupree/100001975235020117 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Old Town Books - **lat**: 38.80359139999999 - **long**: -77.04368099999999 - **full address**: Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: February A Good Yarn Book Club: The Seven Daughters of Dupree - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0a6fbddd7f86b16aa1d378d72bb8b1c462a91ae850dd83f6b80f179c2e7073b8-rimg-w1200-h600-dc004c59-gmir.jpg?v=1764008169 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is February A Good Yarn Book Club: The Seven Daughters of Dupree being held? - **A:** February A Good Yarn Book Club: The Seven Daughters of Dupree takes place on Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing February A Good Yarn Book Club: The Seven Daughters of Dupree? - **A:** February A Good Yarn Book Club: The Seven Daughters of Dupree is organized by Old Town Books. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "February A Good Yarn Book Club: The Seven Daughters of Dupree", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0a6fbddd7f86b16aa1d378d72bb8b1c462a91ae850dd83f6b80f179c2e7073b8-rimg-w1200-h600-dc004c59-gmir.jpg?v=1764008169", "startDate": "2026-02-23", "endDate": "2026-02-23", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-a-good-yarn-book-club-the-seven-daughters-of-dupree/100001975235020117", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Old Town Books", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "130 South Royal Street", "postalCode": "22314", "addressLocality": "Alexandria", "addressRegion": "VA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.80359139999999", "longitude": "-77.04368099999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us at Old Town Books as we discuss our February A Good Yarn book club pick: The Seven Daughters of Dupree by Nikesha Elise Williams", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-09", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-23", "validFrom": "2026-04-09", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-a-good-yarn-book-club-the-seven-daughters-of-dupree/100001975235020117" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-09", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-09", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-a-good-yarn-book-club-the-seven-daughters-of-dupree/100001975235020117", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Old Town Books", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/old-town-books/22517177", "description": "Old Town Books is a new independent bookstore in Alexandria, VA.
