Ready to explore new worlds and perspectives without leaving town?

We're a friendly and enthusiastic group of readers who love to embark on literary adventures across a diverse landscape of genres and themes. From thrilling mysteries and thought-provoking historical fiction to heartwarming contemporary stories and insightful memoirs, our selections will take us on journeys both real and imagined.

Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking discussion of Rebecca Skloot's acclaimed non-fiction book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. This compelling narrative explores the extraordinary story of Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman whose cancer cells – taken without her knowledge in 1951 – became one of the most important tools in medical history, known as HeLa cells.
