Adult Book Group: "Lightning Strike"

Please join our book group! This month we will be discussing "Lightning Strike" by William Kent Krueger. Copies of the book will be available at the circulation desk while supplies last. The author of the instant New York Times best seller This Tender Land returns with a powerful prequel to his acclaimed Cork O’Connor series - a book about fathers and sons, long-simmering conflicts in a small Minnesota town, and the events that echo through youth and shape our lives forever. Aurora is a small town nestled in the ancient forest alongside the shores of Minnesota’s Iron Lake. In the summer of 1963, it is the whole world to 12-year-old Cork O’Connor, its rhythms as familiar as his own heartbeat. But when Cork stumbles upon the body of a man he revered hanging from a tree in an abandoned logging camp, it is the first in a series of events that will cause him to question everything he took for granted about his hometown, his family, and himself...

When Good People Do Something: The Story of How Denmark Saved its Jewish Population During the Holocaust at GT Connections Senior Center

With all the horror of the Holocaust, we forget that sometimes ordinary people did extraordinary acts of righteousness. In this case, it was an entire country that stood up to hatred. Corinne Stavish tells the remarkable story of how Denmark saved 98% of its Jewish population while under Nazi occupation. Corinne Stavish is a College Professor in Humanities at Lawrence Technological University. She uses her degrees in Theatre, Literature, and Performing Arts to great advantage, whether in the classroom or on stage, to shape personal and public history into inspiring narratives described as powerful and poignant. She has been featured at the National Storytelling Festival and has presented workshops nationwide, was a keynote speaker at the 2005 National Storytelling Conference, and was awarded the Detroit Jewish Woman Artist of the Year in Literature in 2001.
