The Book Discussion Group
The
book selection for February is The Art of Racing in
the Rain by Garth Stein - a novel - Renzo, a
family dog, tells the story of his human family, how
they nearly fell apart and what he did to bring them
together. This old soul of a dog has much to teach us
about being human. It is a meditation on humility and
hope in the face of despair. The next meeting will be on
Thursday, February 16, from 1:30 to 3:00 pm in the Forum
Room. Everyone is welcome. Irene Prosser/Barbro Wilson."
