The June meeting of the Encore Book Group will be held at 1:30, Monday, June 24th, downstairs at Lapham.  We will be discussing The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride.

The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store is a historical fiction novel. It tells the story of Black and Jewish residents of the Chicken Hill neighborhood of Pottstown, Pennsylvania in the 1920s and 1930s. The novel is about a group of characters who cross lines of color and class to save a 12-year-old Black boy named Dodo who has been institutionalized by the state. The story shows how love and community can sustain us, even in dark times.

There is always a lively discussion so please REGISTER to let us know you plan to attend.

You can contact Anne Sutcliffe. If you get on the email list, you can be alerted to any changes in the schedule or venue and book availability.
