In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue, Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is, she can not have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

 

If you are interested in joining or would like more information please call the West End Library at 337-923-6205.

WEST END ADULT BOOK CLUB – April 2014 http://stmary.lib.la.us/2014/03/west-end-adult-book-club-april-2014/ http://stmary.lib.la.us/2014/03/west-end-adult-book-club-april-2014/#comments Mon, 31 Mar 2014 17:31:19 +0000 http://stmary.lib.la.us/?p=1124 The West End Branch Library Book Club for Adults will meet on Tuesday, April 15th at 5:00 p.m. to discuss the book Funeral Dress by Susan Gilmore.

 

Emmalee Bullard and her new baby are on their own. Or so she thinks, until Leona Lane, the older seamstress who sat by her side at the local shirt factory where both women worked as collar makers, insists Emmalee come and live with her. Just as Emmalee prepares to escape her hardscrabble life in Red Chert holler, Leona dies tragically. Grief-stricken, Emmalee decides she’ll make Leona’s burying dress, but there are plenty of people who don’t think the unmarried Emmalee should design a dress for a Christian woman or care for a child on her own. But with every stitch, Emmalee struggles to do what is right for her daughter and to honor Leona the best way she can, finding unlikely support among an indomitable group of seamstresses and the town’s funeral director. In a moving tale exploring Southern sprit and camaraderie among working women, a young mother will compel a town to become a community.

BAYOU VISTA BRANCH ADULT BOOK CLUB – April 2014 http://stmary.lib.la.us/2014/03/bayou-vista-branch-adult-book-club-april-2014/ http://stmary.lib.la.us/2014/03/bayou-vista-branch-adult-book-club-april-2014/#comments Mon, 31 Mar 2014 17:26:13 +0000 http://stmary.lib.la.us/?p=1116 Bayou Vista Adult Book Club will meet on Thursday, April 24th at 10:30 a.m. to discuss the novel Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber.

 

What Anne Marie Roche wants is to find happiness again. At thirty-eight, she’s childless, a recent widow, alone. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle’s Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there’s a feeling of emptiness.

 

On Valentine’s Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate….hope. They each begin a list of twenty wishes, things they always wanted to do but never did.

 

Anne Marie’s list includes learning to knit, falling in love again, doing good for someone else. When she volunteers at a local school, an eight-year-old girl named Ellen enters her life. It’s a relationship that becomes far more involving and far more

important than Anne Marie had ever imagined.

 

This book club is open to the public. If you are interested in joining or would like more information, please contact the Bayou Vista Library at 985-399-9866.
