TEEN BOOK DISCUSSION: Wednesday, January 8th at 6 PM
The quiet one, the obedient one, the reliable one. Emmy has spent her life being told exactly who she is. Not strong-willed like her beautiful sister Maddie, and not in rehab like her wild brother Joey. But when a tragic accident changes life in her small town forever, can Emmy keep up the act?
A journey of one sister, one brother, one family to finally recognize and love each other for who they are, not who they are supposed to be, You’d Be Home Now is Kathleen Glasgow’s glorious and heartbreaking story about the opioid crisis, and how it touches all of us.
Join us to ponder this poignant novel. Copies of the book are available to borrow.
