Book Club
meets at 10am
on December 21st to discuss 
Afterlife, by Julia Alvarez.

“A compact, nimble, and sharply droll novel…it asks: What do we owe those in crisis in our families, including—maybe especially—members of our human family? How do we live in a broken world without losing faith in one another or ourselves? And how do we stay true to those glorious souls we have lost?” ~Goodreads
