April Title

 Kathy's book selection for April 14th


Short Description for Unbroken

On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared. Then, on the ocean surface, the face of a young lieutenant appeared as he struggled to pull himself aboard a life raft. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War. In her long-awaited new book, the author of "Seabiscuit" tells an unforgettable story of a man's journey

March Madness - When She Woke


We had lots of lively discussion! A strong story, although fictional, we could all see many parallels in our lives today.

Recommended reading for everyone interested in brilliant storytelling. Recommended especially, for women. Read this book........."
