The Giver of Stars - Reese's Book Club - By Jojo Moyes, 1 Each, $15.74
Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve, hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. When a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelts new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically.The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. What happens to them becomes an unforgettable drama of loyalty, justice, humanity, and passion. These women refuse to be cowed by men or by convention. And though they face all kinds of dangers, theyre committed to their job: bringing books to people who have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives.Based on a true story rooted in Americas past, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope and epic in its storytelling. Funny and heartbreaking, it is destined to become a modern classic--a richly rewarding novel of womens friendship, of true love, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp.
