ABOUT THE BOOKIn a heartwarming story of love, loss, and perseverance, debut author Shannon Terry Wiley chronicles the experiences of those in Shreveport, Louisiana, during the September 1873 outbreak of yellow fever, which ultimately killed over a thousand individuals. Weaving together fictional storylines and real history, Wiley paints a vivid picture of the unspeakable tragedy and the people who lived through it.Through multiple points of view, Yellow September narrates the fortunes of those in the fever-wracked town. Two brothers, George and Eugene, find themselves far from their Midwestern roots while working for the Army Corps of Engineers. Sent to battle a massive logjam blocking the Red River, the pair find themselves grappling with two very different commitments. Meanwhile, Katherine, a farm girl living along the Silver Bayou with her family, who are still grieving the wartime death of her father, faces a difficult choice with consequences that echo throughout her life. Others, like Dr. Dalzell, a pastor and doctor in town, and Eleanor and David, parents fleeing the fever, bring a nuanced perspective to the experiences of those swept up in the outbreak.With epistolary touches throughout, the novel is a testament to the enduring love of family—those we are born with and those we choose—and tells a profound story of duty, devotion, and community.Shannon Terry Wiley is a Louisiana native with deep roots in Southern storytelling. She earned her English degree from LSU and an MA in Creative Writing from Sam Houston State University. After more than thirty years as a high school English teacher, she now brings her love of history and place to the page. When she’s not writing, Shannon enjoys reading on the porch, fishing Louisiana backwaters, spoiling her rescue pup, Dante—and her grandchildren, Waylon and Mae. This is her debut novel. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-orleans/shannon-terry-wiley-at-the-gdbs/100001985606974913 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, parties, entertainment, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 27.24, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New Orleans - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Garden District Book Shop - **lat**: 29.9302073 - **long**: -90.0849707 - **full address**: The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Shannon Terry Wiley at the GDBS - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/548b1fe1098be8e663ca92bb83583cf4672c678df420973b53d2d83c13ec30b1-rimg-w667-h1000-dcecd779-gmir.jpg?v=1774087532 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Shannon Terry Wiley at the GDBS being held? - **A:** Shannon Terry Wiley at the GDBS takes place on Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Shannon Terry Wiley at the GDBS? - **A:** Tickets for Shannon Terry Wiley at the GDBS are priced at USD 27 per person.
