November Book Club meets Thursday, November 21st, 2024 at 1pm in the Vermont Room

This month's book is the Vermont Reads Winner called "Gather" written by Vermont High School Principal, Kenneth M. Cadow. Free books (until they're gone) available at Circulation Desk!

The summary of the book is as follows:
Ian Gray isn't supposed to have a dog, but a lot of things that shouldn't happen end up happening anyway. And Gather, Ian's adopted pup, is good company now that Ian has to quit the basketball team, find a job, and take care of his mom as she tries to overcome her opioid addiction. Despite the obstacles thrown their way, Ian is determined to keep his family afloat no matter what it takes. And for a little while, things are looking up: Ian makes friends, and his fondness for the outdoors and for fixing things lands him work helping neighbors. But an unforeseen tragedy results in Ian and his dog taking off on the run, trying to evade a future that would mean leaving their house and their land. Even if the community comes together to help him, would Ian and Gather have a home to return to?
