From Past to Pages: Crafting Historical Narratives with Janis Robinson Daly

This episode of Jacqui Just Chatters features a conversation with Janice Robinson Daly, an author who delves into her ancestral history and how it inspired her to write her historical novel, 'The Unlocked Path'. Janice discusses her foray into genealogy, focusing on her paternal grandmother’s mysterious past and her discovery of a family legacy intertwined with the abolitionist movement and women's education rights. The conversation also covers how these discoveries led to Janice writing her book, her process of integrating historical facts with fiction, and glimpses into her next project. Additionally, Janice talks about the value of community among authors, her initiative of promoting women’s historical fiction during Women's History Month, and rekindling family connections through genealogy research.
