More Than a Book Club Thursday, January 24th | 10am | Biscayne Room
In December, we will have a club activity and members will be notified via email. The book for next month will be Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover. Educated is the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of family loyalty and the grief that comes with severing the closest of ties. This is a coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes and the will to change it. Contact Janet Taylor at jct6619@gmail.com.
