Brewing on Books: Kate Moore & William Buchheit in Conversation

Join us for a community discussion on the Common Ground with Commonhouse Aleworks as part of our new event series, Brewing on Books: A Community Book Club. This series will focus on local topics of interest for community members. For our July meeting, we will look at the history of institutionalization in mental health treatment. In Kate Moore's newest book, The Woman They Could Not Silence, she uncovers the story of Elizabeth Packard, whose husband committed her to an insane asylum (an act that has been found to have been all too common). She will be joined by South Carolina author William Buchheit, whose history of the South Carolina State Hospital in Columbia includes first-person interviews with those who worked there before it was closed in 2015. We're excited to discuss the intersections of these two works of nonfiction and learn about the fascinating history of the mental health field in the United States and South Carolina, specifically. Books are available from Itinerant Literate: The Woman They Could Not Silence: https://bit.ly/3f6wdno The South Carolina State Hospital: https://bit.ly/3f8iblu Food & Drink Special Commonhouse will be offering a special deal on a themed appetizer and beverage available to attendees of this event.
