Book Club – Love County Library
Join others at the Love County Library for a monthly book club on Tuesday, April 29th at 6:00 PM. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book selection is “Shelterwood” by Lisa Wingate.
In 1990, law enforcement ranger Valerie Boren-Odell arrives at Horsethief Trail National Park to raise her son peacefully. However, a teenage hiker goes missing, and a burial site of three children is found in a cave. With the help of the Choctaw Nation’s Tribal Police, Valerie seeks the truth while facing the land’s deadly legacy. During 1909, eleven-year-old Olive Radley recognizes her stepfather poses a danger to the Choctaw girls in their home. When one girl vanishes, Olive flees with six-year-old Nessa to the Winding Stair Mountains, encountering outlaws and treasure hunters, and forming a group with other struggling children along the way.
