On August 17 at 2:30 we will discuss The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters.
A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine for the summer of 1962 to pick blueberries. Weeks later—last seen by her six-year-old brother Joe—Ruthie, the family’s youngest child vanishes, sparking a tragic mystery that haunts the survivors, unravels a community, and remains unsolved for nearly fifty years.
A young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination, she slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. She will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret.
This powerful debut is a riveting novel about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time.
Save the Date: On September 21, we will discuss The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook by Hampton Sides.
