July: The Small and the Mighty by Sharon McMahon

"From America’s favorite government teacher, a fascinating and fun portrait of twelve ordinary Americans whose courage formed the character of our country. In The Small and the Mighty, Sharon McMahon proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks."

August: Harlem Rhapsody by Victoria Christopher Murray (Field trip day! We are visiting the Road to Liberty Exhibit at the Old Dome in Riverton City Park at 1 pm followed by lunch in the park. Those who want to carpool should meet at the Senior Center at 12:45. Bring a packed lunch if you'd like to eat in the park afterwards.)

"The extraordinary story of Jessie Redmon Fauset, who ignited the Harlem Renaissance, as she navigates love, identity, ambition, and the vibrant cultural awakening of the era while striving to find her voice and place in a world defined by race and gender."

September: Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton

"A moving and fascinating meditation on freedom, trust, loss, and our relationship with the natural world, explored through the story of one woman’s unlikely friendship with a wild hare."

October: The Women of Wild Hill by Kirsten Miller

"Summoned back to their ancestral home on Wild Hill, three generations of Duncan women--estranged sisters and an unknowing daughter--must embrace their magical legacy and reconcile old grievances to stop a rising elemental force bent on reshaping humanity's future."

November: The Frozen River by Ariel Lawlon

"In 1789 Maine, a man accused of rape is found frozen in a river while another accused man, a judge, has disappeared. Midwife Martha Ballard (who's based on a real person) investigates it all in this intricate tale that combines history, mystery, and courtroom suspense."
