The next Book Club will be Monday, January 11, 2016 at 4:30 PM. We will be reading Reverend Sarah Griffith Lund's, "Blessed are the Crazy: Breaking the Silence about Mental Illness, Family, and Church". This beautifully written memoir takes readers along the journey of one family's "normal," and opens the door for dialogue about stereotypes and the church. Copies will be available at the beginning of December. Contact Kamille Dibelka if you are interested! |

Please join us. ![]() Orphan Train is a gripping story of friendship and second chances from Christina Baker Kline, author of Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be. Penobscot Indian Molly Ayer is close to “aging out” out of the foster care system. A community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping Molly out of juvie and worse... As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly learns that she and Vivian aren’t as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance. Hope you can join us. |
