Come join our Book Club on Monday, October 15, at 7:00 p.m., for a lively discussion!

Our selection for October is "State of Wonder [2]" by Ann Patchett, author of the best-selling novel, "Bel Canto".

The story centers around Marina Singh, a researcher at a pharmaceutical company, who journeys into the heart of the Amazonian delta to check on a field team that has been silent for two years - a dangerous assignment that forces Marina to confront the ghosts of her past.
