Thursday, September 12th at 5:30pm
https://bridgesidebooks.com/events/39758

We're wrapping up our 3rd annual One Town One Book Community Reading Initiative!
Almost 150 people have read The Wisdom of Winter (no, it's not about winter!) and now join Annie to discuss the book together - a townwide book club! There's still time to get a copy if you haven't read it yet.

Sparking with personality, loss, and the fingerprint of a rural childhood, The Wisdom of Winter follows Beatrice from small town Vermont and beyond. With literary prowess and contemporary pacing, The Wisdom of Winter is the perfect reflection on what it means to grow up, in every sense of the word.
