Walk and Talk Book Club

Seekonk, MA – Do you want to get outside and add more movement to your day? Do you also want to meet other book lovers and discuss great novels? Then check out the Walk and Talk Book Club at the Seekonk Public Library! Join us on Tuesday, August 6th at 6 PM at the beginning of the Seekonk Meadows path off the library parking lot. This month’s book selection is The Almost Sisters by Joshilyn Jackson. The rain date is Tuesday, August 13th.

A fling at a superhero convention has left Leia with more than just a nice, fuzzy memory. She’s having a baby boy—an unexpected but not unhappy development. But before Leia can break the news of her impending single-motherhood to her conventional, Southern family, her step-sister Rachel’s marriage implodes. Worse, she learns her beloved grandmother, Birchie, is showing signs of dementia.

Leia returns to Alabama to put her grandmother’s affairs in order and tell her family that she’s pregnant. Yet just when Leia thinks she’s got it all under control, she learns about a dangerous family secret with roots that reach all the way back to the Civil War. Its exposure threatens the family’s freedom and future, and it will change everything about how Leia sees herself and the world she thinks she knows.

Reading doesn’t have to be a sedentary, solitary activity. Come enjoy a casual, leisurely walk around the gravel trail of the Seekonk Meadows as we discuss both this month’s book selection and books in general. The Walk and Talk Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of the month, and is free and open to all.
