While we may not be able to meet in person
right now, book clubs are still a great way to connect socially and stay
engaged!
After you have read this month's choice, join us
for a great discussion. Each month we will read a new title from a variety of
genres and authors. New members are always welcome.
Registration required.
In September, we will be discussing There There by Tommy Orange. This title is available as an ebook or an eaudiobook from DownloadLibrary.
There There is a story of twelve unforgettable
characters, Urban Indians living in Oakland, California, who converge and
collide on one fateful day.
As we learn the reasons that each person is attending the Big Oakland
Powwow—some generous, some fearful, some joyful, some violent—momentum builds
toward a shocking yet inevitable conclusion that changes everything. Jacquie
Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left
behind in shame. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life back together after his
uncle's death and has come to work at the powwow to honor his uncle's memory.
Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil, who has
taught himself traditional Indian dance through YouTube videos and will to
perform in public for the very first time. There will be glorious communion,
and a spectacle of sacred tradition and pageantry. And there will be sacrifice,
and heroism, and loss.
