Women Who Dare Book Group

Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward
A hurricane is building over the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the coastal town of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, and Esch's father is growing concerned. As the twelve days that make up the novel's framework yield to their dramatic conclusion, this unforgettable family-motherless children sacrificing for one another as they can, protecting and nurturing where love is scarce-pulls itself up to face another day. Winner of the National Book Award. Interested readers will meet in the Chairman’s Office at 6 pm on Tuesday, June 12. Call 816.701.3683 or email kaitestover@kclibrary.org for further details.
