AM Book Club

Thursday, January 20

11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Location: Friends of the Shorewood Public Library Program Room

The AM Book Club is a great opportunity to talk about what you’ve read, learn something new, discover more great books, and meet new friends.  Join us this month as we discuss Good Boy: My Life in Seven Dogs by Jennifer Finney Boylan.

In her New York Times opinion column, Jennifer Finney Boylan wrote about her relationship with her beloved dog Indigo, and her wise, funny, heartbreaking piece went viral. In Good Boy, Boylan explores what should be the simplest topic in the world, but never is: finding and giving love. Good Boy is a universal account of a remarkable story: showing how a young boy became a middle-aged woman-accompanied at seven crucial moments of growth and transformation by seven memorable dogs. "Everything I know about love," she writes, "I learned from dogs." Their love enables us pull off what seem like impossible feats: to find our way home when we are lost, to live our lives with humor and courage, and above all, to best become our true selves.

This month, we will be meeting virtually via Zoom. Our meeting ID is 352 962 0092, or, if you'd like to call in the phone number is 1-312-626-6799. You can also join us by clicking HERE.
