VACCINES & BAYONETS Book Signing
Sat, Jun 11 · 3 PM
Author Bee Bloeser signs her award-winning historical memoir "VACCINES & BAYONETS: Fighting Smallpox in Africa amid Tribalism, Terror and the Cold War" at Tecolote Book Shop in Montecito on Saturday, June 11, 3-5 p.m.
A different virus. A different pandemic. Countries on opposite sides of an ideological divide cooperate to rid the world of a disease.
With wide-eyed ideals and two young children, Bee eagerly follows her husband to Africa where he helps eradicate smallpox. What Bee encounters deepens her love for Africa, while it erodes her naïveté. She pushes danger and isolation to the back of her mind, keeping cryptic notes and hiding them in the sock drawer.
Be among the first to read her eye-opening memoir. https://beebloeser.com
