SUMMARY:Book Discussion: A Tail of 2 Stories *ADULTS ONLY*
DESCRIPTION:A Tail of 2 stories- We’ll double up and discuss 2 different books; read one or the other or both and join in twice as much conversation! \nTo register now\, click here. \nAbout the books:\nBook 1. The Good Dream\nAuthor: Donna VanLiere\nAnnotation: Tennessee\, 1950: Still single and in her early thirties\, Ivorie Walker is considered an old maid; a label she takes with good humor and a grain of salt. But when her mother dies\, leaving her to live alone in the house she grew up in\, to work the farm she was raised to take care of\, she finds herself lost in a kind of loneliness she hadn’t expected. But her life soon changes when a feral\, dirty-faced boy who has been sneaking onto her land to steal from her garden comes into her life. Where did he come from? And\, more importantly\, can she save him? As Ivorie steps out of her comfort zone to uncover the answers\, she unleashes a firestorm in the town–a community that would rather let secrets stay that way.\nTime: 9 Hr. 9 min.\nAvailable through Talking Book or BARD mobile: DB 118478 \nBook 2. Nightwatching\nAuthor: Tracy Sierra\nAnnotation: Home alone with her young children during a blizzard\, a mother tucks her son back into bed in the middle of the night. She hears a noise old houses are always making some kind of noise. But this sound is disturbingly familiar: it’s the tread of footsteps\, unusually heavy and slow\, coming up the stairs. She sees the figure of a man appear down the hallway\, shrouded in the shadows. Terrified\, she quietly wakes her children and hustles them into the oldest part of the house\, a tiny\, secret room concealed behind a wall. There they hide as the man searches for them\, trying to tempt the children out with promises and scare the mother into surrender. In the suffocating darkness\, the mother struggles to remain calm\, to plan. Should she search for a weapon or attempt escape? But then she catches another glimpse of him. That face. That voice. And at once she knows her situation is even more dire than she’d feared\, because she knows exactly who he is and what he wants.\nTime: 10 hr. 32 min.\nAvailable through Talking Book and BARD mobile: DB 118938 \nTo register now\, click here. \nFor instructions on how to use our registration system\, click here. \nQuestions?
