Patterson Pages: Adult Book Discussion Group
Join us each month for a lively discussion of fiction and non-fiction titles. This month's selection is The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride.
Synopsis: In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community--heaven and earth--that sustain us.
Copies of this title are available at the library.
