Meet us at Tapped Crafthouse in Red Mill Commons to discuss this month’s selected title: Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. Book club copies are available for check-out at the Princess Anne information desk. Adults ages 18 and up. Registration required.

Book Description: 

Gifty is a fifth year candidate in neuroscience at Stanford School of Medicine studying reward seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after a knee injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her. Even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family's loss, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith, and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised.
