Book Discussion - "Give"

Erica Witsell and her sister will be visiting the Roslyn Library to discuss her new book "Give" at 6:00 pm on Monday July 1. We are very excited to have this book in our library and have them stop here on their tour. Please join us to welcome them! Books available for sale as well as signing. We will have lemonade and cookies as refreshments.

About the book:

From the misty coast and dry ranch country of rural California to San Francisco's lively streets and Oregon's protective woods, Jessie and Emma are followed by the fumbles, failures and multifaceted love of their family. The sisters are left behind by Laurel, a mother who never takes to mothering, then raised by their father and a stepmother who loves them as her own. When Laurel reappears to rekindle a relationship, they have disparate responses, but, in their love for one another, allow each other to follow their own paths. As their lives settle into adulthood, along with their own questions of belonging, Laurel, desperate for another chance at family and happiness, asks for a stunning gift. The reverberations for the request and its answer will continue to transform the lives of the family.
