Wednesday, February 19, 10 a.m. - Noon, Caleb’s Crossing by Geraldine Brooks           

This book captures the triumphs and turmoil of two brave, open-hearted spirits who risk everything in a search for knowledge at a time of superstition and ignorance.

Wednesday, February 26, 10 a.m. - Noon, Broken Harbor by Tana French

A damaged hero, an unspeakable crime, and an intricately plotted mystery—nestled in a timely examination of lives shattered by the global economic downturn. Mick “Scorcher” Kennedy always brings in the killer. Always. That’s why he’s landed this high-profile triple homicide. At first, he thinks it’s going to be simple, but the murder scene holds terrifying memories for Scorcher. Memories of something that happened there back when he was a boy.

For the comfort of all attending,
