Book Club – Hang the Moon

Wednesday, April 17th @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

Join us in-person or on Zoom for a book discussion of Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls!

Sallie Kincaid is the daughter of the biggest man in a small town, the charismatic Duke Kincaid. Born at the turn of the 20th century into a life of comfort and privilege, Sallie remembers little about her mother who died in a violent argument with the Duke. By the time she is just eight years old, the Duke has remarried and had a son, Eddie. While Sallie is her father’s daughter, sharp-witted and resourceful, Eddie is his mother’s son, timid and cerebral. When Sallie tries to teach young Eddie to be more like their father, her daredevil coaching leads to an accident, and Sallie is cast out.

Nine years later, she returns, determined to reclaim her place in the family. That’s a lot more complicated than Sallie expected, and she enters a world of conflict and lawlessness. Sallie confronts the secrets and scandals that hide in the shadows of the Big House, navigates the factions in the family and town, and finally comes into her own as a bold, sometimes reckless bootlegger.

You will fall in love with Sallie Kincaid, a feisty and fearless, terrified and damaged young woman who refuses to be corralled.

NO PUBLIC COMPUTERS TODAY

Due to a software issue, the public computers are still out of service.

However, you will still have access to wi-fi, copying, scanning, and mobile printing.

This is WJM-specific, and does not affect our neighboring libraries, if you need to use a public computer.

Thank you for your patience!
