<div>This month we will be reading <b><i>Once Upon a River </i></b>by Diane Setterfield.</div><div><br></div><div>On a dark midwinter's night in an ancient inn on the river Thames, a wounded stranger carries in the lifeless body of a small child. Hours later the girl stirs, and returns to life. Is it a miracle? Magic? As the days pass the child remains mute and unable to answer questions. Three families are keen to claim her: the wealthy mother of a kidnapped daughter missing for two years; a farming family sure it is their son's secret daughter; a parson's housekeeper, reminded of her younger sister. Each family has secrets that must be revealed before the girl's identity can be known.

<div>This month we will be discussing <i style="">Demon Copperhead</i> by Barbara Kingsolver.</div><div><br></div><div>Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is a story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.
