Introducing the blog

In May 2022, I published my first book, Happy Dreams of Liberty: An American Family in Slavery and Freedom. Since then, I've been thrilled to share the store of the Townsend family at book talks across the country, seminars, and podcasts. Now I finally have a blog (...and it only took 16 months)!

I'll be here with news about Happy Dreams of Liberty as well as info on my new book project -- a true crime story from the Deep South -- so stay tuned. You can also find me on my public Facebook page @risabelamorales.author
