We had a great discussion of The Color of Water. Everyone liked the book - we were all enthralled by the unique story of this multi-racial family. Amazing story of a mother who pushed all of her bi-racial children to higher education with very limited resources and no support from the general community.
Robin had several books to choose from - after a bit of discussion the next month's book was chosen:
The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood by
A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish–and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible. Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic traveler with something she had sought all her life: an anchor (eventually weighing 750 pounds) to family and home.
