Book Club Update - 02/21/2008

Our February selection was a hit. Everyone present enjoyed reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. Jeannette's story of growing up in a very challenging situation impressed us with her perseverance and ingenuity. What was more impressive is that after facing a childhood plagued with poverty and neglect, she is able to tell the story with deep affection for her parents. It was definitely a story of triumph against all odds.

On March 19th, we will be discussing The Zookeeper's Wife. We have ordered a number of copies of the book and expect them to be delivered by the end of this week. I will call the people that left me their names. If you did not add your name to the list, feel free to email me to let me know that you need a copy. See you all on March 19th. Sherry
