Date/Time: Third Monday of the Month (except July, August and December) 1:30pm Monday

On Monday, April 15th, at 1:30 pm the group will discuss two books. Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival, and Hope in an American City by Andrea Elliott (Education for Mission). This book follows Dasani, a young and imaginative girl who lives in a Brooklyn homeless shelter. As she grows up, New York City’s homeless crisis worsens, and Dasani must protect her siblings from hunger, violence, and the threat of foster care. The author weaves in the history of Dasani’s ancestors, tracing their journey from slavery to the Great Migration North. And The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah (Social Action). This novel is a powerful epic set during the Great Depression. Elsa Wolcott, a Great Plains farmer’s wife, battles against nature and fights to keep her children alive. Elsa must make a difficult choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind for a better life. The book brings to life the harsh realities of the Great Depression and the enduring battle between the haves and have-nots. The group meets in the Bernice Nailen Memorial Library. All are welcome.
