SUMMARY:July Book Club: White Ivy by Susie Yang
DESCRIPTION:3:00 p.m.\, Thursday\, July 28\, 2022\nWhite Ivy by Susie Yang\n \nIvy Lin is a thief and a liar—but you’d never know it by looking at her. Raised outside of Boston\, she is taught how to pilfer items from yard sales and second-hand shops by her immigrant grandmother. Thieving allows Ivy to accumulate the trappings of a suburban teen—and\, most importantly\, to attract the attention of Gideon Speyer\, the golden boy of a wealthy political family. But when Ivy’s mother discovers her trespasses\, punishment is swift and Ivy is sent to China\, where her dream instantly evaporates. Filled with surprising twists and offering sharp insights into the immigrant experience\, White Ivy is both a love triangle and a coming-of-age story\, as well as a glimpse into the dark side of a woman who yearns for success at any cost. \nPlease join us for all our upcoming in-person Book Club meetings. We also will offer Zoom platform meetings for those not comfortable meeting in person at this time. \nClick here to download the flyer for all the book club meetings.

SUMMARY:January Book Club: Sisters of Mokama by Jyoti Thottam
DESCRIPTION:3:00 p.m.\, January 26\, 2023\nSisters of Mokama by Jyoti Thottam \nThis is the never-before-told story of six intrepid Kentucky nuns\, their journey to build a hospital in the poorest state in India\, and the Indian nurses whose lives would never be the same. Jyoti Thottam brings to life the hopes\, struggles\, and accomplishments of these ordinary women — both American and Indian — who succeeded against the odds during the tumult and trauma of the years after World War II and the country’s partition. Pain and loss were everywhere for the women of that time\, but the collapse of the old orders provided the women of Nazareth Hospital with an opening — a chance to create for themselves lives that would never have been possible otherwise. \nPlease join us for all our upcoming in-person Book Club meetings.
