Book Discussion: Orphan Train

Each month the group will read a new selection, then meet to share their thoughts. A limited number of copies of each month’s selection are available for check out at the front desk of the library. There is no fee to participate and you don’t need to sign up in advance. Just read the book for the upcoming meeting and join us on the last Wednesday of each month for lively discussion and light refreshments.

January’s Featured Book is “The Elegant Gathering of White Snows” by Kris Radish | “Just after midnight in a small town in Wisconsin, eight women begin walking together down a rural highway. Career women, housewives, mothers, divorcées, and one ex–prom queen, they are close friends who have been meeting every Thursday night for years, sharing food, wine, and their deepest secrets. Their spontaneous pilgrimage attracts national attention and inspires other women from all across the country. As the miles fall away and the women forge ahead on their backroads odyssey—leaving small miracles in their wake—each of their histories unfolds, tales of shattered dreams and unexpected renewal, of thwarted love affairs and precious second chances.In luminous, heartwarming prose, Kris Radish deftly interweaves the women’s intimate confessions into the story of their brave, history-making walk.”
