SUMMARY:Book Group - The First Ladies
DESCRIPTION:January 14: The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray \nAccording to goodreads: \n  \nA novel about the extraordinary partnership between First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune—an unlikely friendship that changed the world\, from the New York Times bestselling authors of the Good Morning America Book Club pick The Personal Librarian. \nThe daughter of formerly enslaved parents\, Mary McLeod Bethune refuses to back down as white supremacists attempt to thwart her work. She marches on as an activist and an educator\, and as her reputation grows she becomes a celebrity\, revered by titans of business and recognized by U.S. Presidents. Eleanor Roosevelt herself is awestruck and eager to make her acquaintance. Initially drawn together because of their shared belief in women’s rights and the power of education\, Mary and Eleanor become fast friends confiding their secrets\, hopes and dreams—and holding each other’s hands through tragedy and triumph. \nWhen Franklin Delano Roosevelt is elected president\, the two women begin to collaborate more closely\, particularly as Eleanor moves toward her own agenda separate from FDR\, a consequence of the devastating discovery of her husband’s secret love affair. Eleanor becomes a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness\, particularly on civil rights. And when she receives threats because of her strong ties to Mary\, it only fuels the women’s desire to fight together for justice and equality. \nThis is the story of two different\, yet equally formidable\, passionate\, and committed women\, and the way in which their singular friendship helped form the foundation for the modern civil rights movement. \nhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63024287-the-first-ladies?ref=nav_sb_ss_2_16

SUMMARY:Book Group - Where You Will Find Me  by Ty Gagne
DESCRIPTION:Where You’ll Find Me: Risk\, Decisions\, and the Last Climb of Kate Matrosova \n\n\n\n\n\nOn Feb. 15\, 2015\, Kate Matrosova\, an avid mountaineer\, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Late the following day\, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. \nAt thirty-two\, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet\, despite their best efforts\, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel\, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter\, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. \nWhat went wrong? \nWhere You’ll Find Me offers possible answers to that question\, demonstrating why Matrosova’s story–what we know and what we will never know–represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.

SUMMARY:Book Group: North Woods by Daniel Mason
DESCRIPTION:March 11: North Woods by Daniel Mason \nAccording to goodreads: \nA sweeping novel about a single house in the woods of New England\, told through the lives of those who inhabit it across the centuries—a daring\, moving tale of memory and fate from the Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Piano Tuner and The Winter Soldier. \nWhen a pair of young lovers abscond from a Puritan colony\, little do they know that their humble cabin in the woods will become home to an extraordinary succession of inhabitants . An English soldier\, destined for glory\, abandons the battlefields of the New World to devote himself to apples. A pair of spinster twins survive war and famine\, only to succumb to envy and desire. A crime reporter unearths a mass grave\, but finds the ancient trees refuse to give up their secrets. A lovelorn painter\, a conman\, a stalking panther\, a lusty beetle; as each one confronts the mysteries of the north woods\, they come to realize that the dark\, raucous\, beautiful past is very much alive. \nTraversing cycles of history\, nature\, and even literature\, North Woods shows the myriad\, magical ways in which we’re connected to our environment and to one another\, across time\, language and space. Written along with the seasons and divided into the twelve months of the year\, it is an unforgettable novel about secrets and fates that asks the timeless how do we live on\, even after we’re gone?

SUMMARY:Book Group - Boston Girl
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s book group meeting. \nReading Boston Girl by Anita Diamant \n  \nFrom GoodReads \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Red Tent and Day After Night\, comes an unforgettable coming-of-age novel about family ties and values\, friendship and feminism told through the eyes of a young Jewish woman growing up in Boston in the early twentieth century. \nAddie Baum is The Boston Girl\, born in 1900 to immigrant parents who were unprepared for and suspicious of America and its effect on their three daughters. Growing up in the North End\, then a teeming multicultural neighborhood\, Addie’s intelligence and curiosity take her to a world her parents can’t imagine – a world of short skirts\, movies\, celebrity culture and new opportunities for women. Addie wants to finish high school and dreams of going to college. She wants a career and to find true love. \nEighty-five-year-old Addie tells the story of her life to her twenty-two-year-old granddaughter\, who has asked her “How did you get to be the woman you are today?” She begins in 1915\, the year she found her voice and made friends who would help shape the course of her life. From the one-room tenement apartment she shared with her parents and two sisters\, to the library group for girls she joins at a neighborhood settlement house\, to her first\, disastrous love affair\, Addie recalls her adventures with compassion for the naïve girl she was and a wicked sense of humor. \nWritten with the same attention to historical detail and emotional resonance that made Anita Diamant’s previous novels bestsellers\, The Boston Girl is a moving portrait of one woman’s complicated life in twentieth-century America\, and a fascinating look at a generation of women finding their places in a changing world.
