Readers' Group - Morning Edition
Thursday, September 3, 11:00 am
Community Room This month's selection is The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb. "Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage into a tailspin. And that's before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences elemental kinship with a prison librarian, a tender-hearted cellmate, and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?"-- Back cover. Looking ahead to the October 1 meeting, the group will discuss There, There by Tommy Orange. |

Thursday, September 3, 6:00 pm
Community Room This month's selection is Family of Spies by Christine Kuehn. "A propulsive, never-before-told story of one family's shocking involvement as Nazi and Japanese spies during WWII and the pivotal role they played in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It began with a call from a screenwriter, asking about a story. Your family. World War II. Nazi spies. Christine Kuehn was shocked and confused. When she asked her seventy-year-old father, Eberhard, what this could possibly be about, he stalled, deflected, demurred, and then he wept. He knew this day would come. Jumping back and forth between Christine discovering her family's secret and the untold past of the spies in Germany, Japan, and Hawaii, Family of Spies is fast-paced history at its finest, and will rewrite the narrative of December 7, 1941."-- Provided by publisher. Looking ahead to the October 1 meeting, the group will discuss Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad. You can visit us to pick up a copy, place a hold, or ask a librarian to order a copy for you. |
