SUMMARY:WOW July Book Club
DESCRIPTION:July 27 at 7 p.m.\nHome of Jodi Christensen: call the front office for the address \nJuly’s book club pick is a historical fiction novel — “Before We Were Yours” by Lisa Wingate. It is based on a real-life scandal in which Georgia Tann\, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization\, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country. \nAbout “Before We Were Yours”\nMemphis\, 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family’s Mississippi River shantyboat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night\, Rill is left in charge—until strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage\, the Foss children are assured that they will soon be returned to their parents—but they quickly realize the dark truth. At the mercy of the facility’s cruel director\, Rill fights to keep her sisters and brother together in a world of danger and uncertainty. \nAiken\, South Carolina\, present day. Born into wealth and privilege\, Avery Stafford seems to have it all: a successful career as a federal prosecutor\, a handsome fiancé\, and a lavish wedding on the horizon. But when Avery returns home to help her father weather a health crisis\, a chance encounter leaves her with uncomfortable questions and compels her to take a journey through her family’s long-hidden history\, on a path that will ultimately lead either to devastation or to redemption. \nBased on one of America’s most notorious real-life scandals—in which Georgia Tann\, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization\, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country—Lisa Wingate’s riveting\, wrenching\, and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how\, even though the paths we take can lead to many places\, the heart never forgets where we belong.

SUMMARY:Summer Book Club with WOW
DESCRIPTION:JUNE Book Club:\nDate: Thursday\, June 22\nTime: 7:00 pm\nPlace: Home of Jodi Christensen (please call the office for the address is needed) \n“From the womb\, we must repeat with regularity that to love ourselves is to survive. I believe that is what my father wanted for me and knew I would so desperately need: a tool for survival\, the truth of my dignity named like a mercy new each morning.” \nSo writes Cole Arthur Riley in her unforgettable book of stories and reflections on discovering the sacred in her skin. In these deeply transporting pages\, Arthur Riley reflects on the stories of her grandmother and father\, and how they revealed to her an embodied\, dignity-affirming spirituality\, not only in what they believed but in the act of living itself. Writing memorably of her own childhood and coming to self\, Arthur Riley boldly explores some of the most urgent questions of life and faith: How can spirituality not silence the body\, but instead allow it to come alive? How do we honor\, lament\, and heal from the stories we inherit? How can we find peace in a world overtaken with dislocation\, noise\, and unrest? In this indelible work of contemplative storytelling\, Arthur Riley invites us to descend into our own stories\, examine our capacity to rest\, wonder\, joy\, rage\, and repair\, and find that our humanity is not an enemy to faith but evidence of it. \nAt once a compelling spiritual meditation\, a powerful intergenerational account\, and a tender coming-of-age narrative\, This Here Flesh speaks potently to anyone who suspects that our stories might have something to say to us.
