SUMMARY:Evening Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This month’s selection is The Four Winds by Kirstin Hannah.  Texas\, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over\, the bounty of the land is plentiful\, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott\, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option\, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin\, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows. \nBy 1934\, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying\, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive. \nIn this uncertain and perilous time\, Elsa–like so many of her neighbors–must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west\, to California\, in search of a better life for her family. \nThe Four Winds is a rich\, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it–the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope\, resilience\, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity\, The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream\, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.

SUMMARY:Afternoon Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book selection is: Grandma Gatewood’s Walk by Ben Montgomery.  Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less than two hundred dollars. The next anybody heard from her\, this genteel\, farm-reared\, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2\,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955\, having survived a rattlesnake strike\, two hurricanes\, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem\, she stood atop Maine’s Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of “America\, the Beautiful” and proclaimed\, “I said I’ll do it\, and I’ve done it.” Grandma Gatewood\, as the reporters called her\, became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail alone\, as well as the first person–man or woman–to walk it twice and three times. Gatewood became a hiking celebrity and appeared on TV and in the pages of Sports Illustrated. The public attention she brought to the little-known footpath was unprecedented. Her vocal criticism of the lousy\, difficult stretches led to bolstered maintenance\, and very likely saved the trail from extinction. Author Ben Montgomery was given unprecedented access to Gatewood’s own diaries\, trail journals\, and correspondence\, and interviewed surviving family members and those she met along her hike\, all to answer the question so many asked: Why did she do it? The story of Grandma Gatewood will inspire readers of all ages by illustrating the full power of human spirit and determination. Even those who know of Gatewood don’t know the full story–a story of triumph from pain\, rebellion from brutality\, hope from suffering.
