Eve's first book for children, coauthored by Margy Burns Knight and illustrated by Alix Delinois, is WHO NEEDS A STATUE?
Her biographies are MARMEE & LOUISA, about the Alcotts; AMERICAN JEZEBEL, about Anne Hutchinson; and the Massachusetts Book Award-winning SALEM WITCH JUDGE, about the colonial jurist who became a feminist and abolitionist.
"Just as Hawthorne dug into the dark history of his ancestry, reaching back to 1630s Boston and the Salem Witch Trials, so too did LaPlante trace family members from these eras," Shaun O'Connell wrote in BOSTON: VOICES & VISIONS. "Hawthorne took shame upon himself for the misdeeds of his Puritan ancestors, and LaPlante offers praise for her forebears who testified against repression. As her prefaces to these biographies, a kind of spiritual autobiography, show, Hutchinson and Sewall were not the dark Puritans many imagine, but remain living presences, models of rectitude" now.
Her book SEIZED is a narrative portrait of temporal lobe epilepsy. She edited MY HEART IS BOUNDLESS, a compilation of the writings of Abigail May Alcott, Louisa's mother, and has degrees from Princeton and Harvard. Please visit with Eve LaPlante at her website (her name dot com).
