Book Club for Thursday, February 20, at 7:30 PM on Zoom

The book we have chosen for our next Book Club meeting is Wolf Hollow. It is available at both the Marin and Sonoma County libraries. It is available as a book, a large print book, and audiobook and an ebook. Please join us to discuss this book on Thursday, February 20, at 7:30 PM on Zoom.

Wolf Hollow is a realistic fiction book by Lauren Wolk about a girl who uses honesty and compassion to overcome bullying. The book won several awards, including the 2017 Newbery Honor Book.

The story is about Annabelle, an 11-year-old girl who lives in the quiet town of Wolf Hollow. Despite growing up in the shadows cast by two world wars, Annabelle has lived a mostly quiet, steady life in her small Pennsylvania town. Until the day new student Betty Glengarry walks into her class. Betty quickly reveals herself to be cruel and manipulative, and though her bullying seems isolated at first, it quickly escalates.

Toby, a reclusive World War I veteran, soon becomes the target of Betty’s attacks. While others see Toby’s strangeness, Annabelle knows only kindness. And as tensions mount in their small community, Annabelle must find the courage to stand as a lone voice for justice.

The book deals with themes of bullying, war, injustice, prejudice, mental illness, moral dilemmas, and socio-economic status. It also reinforces the idea that people should fight for what's right and help others when they can. 



Wolk was inspired to write Wolf Hollow by her mother's childhood in rural western Pennsylvania. 

Elders Talk Parents in February

 Nine FCCSR elders met in January and shared memories of places, people, events and travels in our lives. Once again we uncovered sides of our church friends that we had never known, and some that surprised us! And folks got to talk about themselves and their histories, often a favorite pastime of elder folks (although some had to be prodded!).

Spurred by our memories, we unanimously decided to talk about our parents in February, the lovely memories and perhaps some that are difficult, but probably all related to ourselves today.

The Elders’ February meeting will be on Thursday, February 27^th, from 6:30 to 7:30 over Zoom.
