This past Saturday, November 15th, we discussed "Family Tree" by Delinsky.
The consensus was that it was an enjoyable, and thought provoking book. The book isn't just about race, or skin color, but also about trust, and your history, and events surrounding one another.
In an interesting discussion brought on by a member, it was asked our personal stories of contact with interracial relationships, or family lineage. It brought a wonderful discussion by our members as to how we are affected by race in our personal lives.
I got from the members that it was a book worth reading. We welcomed a hopefully new member to our book club, and we weclomed one back as well, which we are happy to see return. You know who you are, if you read this, or if anyone reads this. We are happy to see you out and about, strong, and still full of life. It will be hard, but we know you will be better as time passes. =)
Anyway, overall, I think it was about a ***1/2 star book. It's reccomded that you go out and read it.
Coming up: Book club's first field trip, and December's "choices"
