Ernt Allbright, a former POW, returns from the Vietnam War changed and volatile. After losing another job, he impulsively decides to move his family to remote Alaska, hoping for a fresh start. Thirteen-year-old Leni, caught in her parents’ tumultuous relationship, hopes for a better future in this new land. Her mother, Cora, follows Ernt anywhere. Initially, Alaska offers a supportive community and hope, but as winter approaches, Ernt’s mental state deteriorates, and the family begins to fracture. Cut off from help, Leni and Cora must confront the reality that they are truly on their own.

Book Club – Davis Public Library
Join others at the Davis Public Library for a monthly book club at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, February 24th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book, “Here One Moment” by Liane Moriarty will be discussed.
Life is full of unexpected twists. But what if you saw them coming? Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but on her twenty-eighth birthday, she’d rather not be calming passengers upset by a long delay. There’s a well-dressed man in 4C who fears missing his daughter’s musical, a harried mother juggling her baby and toddler, honeymooners still in wedding clothes dreaming of the future, and a chatty ER nurse longing for retirement. Suddenly, a woman stands and walks the aisle, predicting how and when passengers will die. Some dismiss her as a fake; others are delighted by promises of long lives. A few are appalled. Months later, the first prediction comes true.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Davis Public Library at 209 East Benton in Davis or call (580) 369-2468. The Davis Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.

Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book, “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman will be discussed.
No one ever told Eleanor that life could be better than fine. Meet Eleanor Oliphant: socially awkward and unfiltered, she follows a strict routine, primarily avoiding others. Her weekends consist of frozen pizza, drinks, and calls with Mummy. Everything changes when Eleanor befriends Raymond, the bumbling, unhygienic IT guy from her office. Together, they help Sammy, an elderly man who falls on the sidewalk. The three form a friendship that lifts them from isolation. Raymond’s big heart ultimately helps Eleanor heal her own.
