I see the moon and the moon sees me...

Many people saw different things in the book club selection for August.  Some saw confusion; some saw history; some even saw a simple story with generations of Indian women.  Whatever was seen, it brought out a discussion that we have never done before. 

Aside from the confusion of who was speaking when (some were confused, others not) this book first brought about Indian life.  It made everyone think of just how much were the indians treated, and most felt not so great.  But, a deeper question was also asked.  If they weren't treated the way they were, and the white men took the land, would we be the America we are today?

It really is an eye-opening sort of read when you think of it. At only a little less then 200 pages, it may not have been the best all around read, but the book is really worth one for a interesting talk, and a historical biographical lesson.

Club was: August 18th, 2012
