Island Morning Book Club
This book club is led by Joan Pettigrew and meets the third Thursday at 10:15 am. All are welcome and their list of book club picks are available at the front desk. This month they will be discussing Evicted by Matthew Desmond.
In Evicted, Princeton sociologist and MacArthur “Genius” Matthew Desmond follows eight families in Milwaukee as they each struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Hailed as “wrenching and revelatory” (The Nation), “vivid and unsettling” (New York Review of Books), Evicted transforms our understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving one of twenty-first-century America’s most devastating problems. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible. (Amazon)
