DESCRIPTION:For the month of April we will be discussing Mad Boy: An accou
 nt of Henry Phipps in the War of 1812 by Nick Arvin. A novel about family 
 and perseverance set during America’s “forgotten war” o
 f 1812..\nhttps://gwinnettpl.libnet.info/event/4908544
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Young Henry Phipps is on a quest to realiz
 e his dying mother&rsquo\;s last wish: to be buried at sea\, surrounded by
  her family. Not an easy task considering Henry&rsquo\;s ne&rsquo\;er-do-w
 ell father is in debtor&rsquo\;s prison and his comically earnest older br
 other is busy fighting the red coats on the battlefields of Maryland. But 
 Henry&rsquo\;s stubborn determination knows no bounds. As he dodges the ca
 nnon fire of clashing armies and picks among the ruins of a burning capita
 l he meets looters\, British defectors\, renegade slaves\, a pregnant maid
 en in distress\, and scoundrels of all types. Mad Boy is at once an antic 
 adventure and a thoroughly convincing work of historical fiction that recr
 eates a young nation&rsquo\;s first truly international conflict and a key
  moment in the history of the emancipation of African-American slaves.</p>
 \n<p>Entertaining\, atmospheric\, and touching\, Mad Boy will transport re
 aders with its cast of vivid characters\, its masterful storytelling\, and
  its poignant tale of a young man burdened by an outsized undertaking</p>\
