Dr. Karin Zipf, associate professor of History at ECU will join us to discuss her book Bad Girls at Samarcand, the real-life story of a reform school for girls in Moore County, NC.
DG Martin calls the book, "a complicated and moving story of the struggle of hard-working, well-meaning people, mostly women, to provide for the betterment of young women in troubled circumstances — and how their efforts, and the mixed results they achieved, challenge those who set public policy today."
