Join others at the Davis Public Library for a monthly book club at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, August 25th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book, “Heartwood” by Amity Gaige will be discussed.
In the heart of the Maine woods, an experienced Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is forty-two-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her final destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her thoughts into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping. At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Maine State Game Warden tasked with finding Valerie, who leads the search on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a seventy-six-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Roving between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie’s disappearance may not be accidental.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Davis Public Library at (580) 369-2468. You can visit the library at 209 East Benton in Davis. The Davis Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
