Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her isolation.Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.”But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.Register now to hear directly from the author about the crafting of her tender, yet immensely powerful work.About the Author:Marjan Kamali, born in Turkey to Iranian parents, is the New York Times bestselling author of The Lion Women of Tehran, The Stationery Shop,and Together Tea. She is the 2022 recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Award. Her books have been translated into over thirty languages. Marjan lives with her family in the Boston area.

During our weekly meetings, we will practice sitting meditation (zazen) and walking meditation (kinhin), ending with a discussion of important components of Zen as illustrated in selected readings. Although Zen Meditation has no ostensible goals beyond learning to be present to what is, the long-term effects of this powerful practice can be increased calm, the development of greater compassion, and the discovery of and alignment with our authentic selves. All of these can support greater long-term health, well-being, and growth.Registration is required. Please note this is a 2 month series. The first session will be an introductory session. If you would like to join mid series, please contact us to see if that is something we can make happen.Beginning meditators as well as those new to Zen are welcome! Please let us know if you are new to zen meditation so we can arrange a time before the meeting so Celeste can introduce you to the practice.Celeste Calabotta has facilitated prayer and meditation groups, both in person and online, for over 15 years. A certified Spiritual Director engaged in spiritual accompaniment for over 12 years, she began practicing Zen Meditation 3 years ago as part of a Christian Zen Retreat facilitated by Roshi Robert Kennedy, the first American priest to receive the designation “Roshi,” or “Master.” Her attraction to Zen Meditation reflects her deep commitment to interspirituality.

This month we will be discussing Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin.In the Deep South of the 1950’s, a color line was etched in blood across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. Journalist John Howard Griffin decided to cross that line. Using medication that darkened his skin to deep brown, he exchanged his privileged life as a Southern white man for the disenfranchised world of an unemployed black man.What happened to John Howard Griffin—from the outside and within himself—as he made his way through the segregated Deep South is recorded in this searing work of nonfiction. His audacious, still chillingly relevant eyewitness history is a work about race and humanity every American must read.Copies available at the circulation desk.

A monthly book club that reads a popular fiction pick each month!This month we will be discussing How to Read a Book by Monica Wood.In this emotional book club fiction, Violet Powell, a twenty-two-year-old from Abbott Falls, Maine, is being released from prison after serving twenty-two months for a drunk-driving crash that killed a local kindergarten teacher.Harriet Larson, a retired English teacher who runs the prison book club, is facing the unsettling prospect of an empty nest.Frank Daigle, a retired machinist, hasn’t yet come to grips with the complications of his marriage to the woman Violet killed.When the three encounter each other one morning in a bookstore in Portland—Violet to buy the novel she was reading in the prison book club before her release, Harriet to choose the next title for the women who remain, and Frank to dispatch his duties as the store handyman—their lives begin to intersect in transformative ways.How to Read a Book is an unsparingly honest and profoundly hopeful story about forgiveness, letting go of guilt, seizing second chances, and the power of books to change our lives. With the heart, wit, grace, and depth of understanding that has characterized her work, Monica Wood illuminates the decisions that define a life and the kindnesses that make life worth living.Books available at HCH Library.
