Coffee & Conversation

Looking for a laid-back book club to join? Come enjoy a cup of coffee or tea as we discuss this month's book 'The God of the Woods' by Liz Moore. New members are always welcome!

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara is not just any 13-year-old: she is the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this is not the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished 14 years ago, never to be found.

As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Coffee and tea will be provided.
