Encore Book Group
The January 2025 meeting of the Encore Book Group will be held at 1:30 PM, Monday, January 27th, downstairs at Lapham. This month, we’ll be discussing "The Frozen River" by Ariel Lawhon, a gripping historical mystery inspired by the life and diary of frontier midwife Martha Ballard. Set in the rugged Maine wilderness of 1789 and based on true events, it follows Ballard’s journey as she braves countless dangers to care for her community. Lawhon’s novel is a powerful exploration of resilience and justice, showcasing the hidden strength of early American women.
There is always a lively discussion so please REGISTER to let us know you plan to attend.

This month, we’ll be discussing "James" by Percival Everett, the classic tale of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is reimagined with a compelling shift in perspective: the story is told from the viewpoint of Jim, the enslaved man who becomes Huck's traveling companion. When Jim learns he is about to be sold and permanently separated from his family, he takes fate into his own hands, hiding on Jackson Island to plot his escape. His path crosses with Huck, who has his own reasons for fleeing—a violent father and a suffocating society. Together, they embark on a treacherous journey down the Mississippi River in search of freedom and self-determination.
