Afternoon Adult Book Club
June 24th at 3:00 PM via Zoom
Join us this month for a discussion on Educated by Tara Westover. Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty and of the grief that comes with severing the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal 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. 
 
Pre-registration is required. Ages 18+
