Events › Chapter by Chapter: Non-Fiction Book Club

Join us for a monthly gathering for seniors who want to explore the lives and stories of remarkable individuals. Each month, we dive into a new biography, uncovering the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of people who have shaped history. This club provides a welcoming space to share insights, engage in thoughtful discussions, and connect with others over the power of storytelling. Whether you're a lifelong reader or just beginning to explore biographies, this book club offers a chance to learn, reflect, and celebrate the stories that inspire us all. 

This month's selection: Did I Ever Tell You?, by Genevieve Kingston

Genevieve (Gwen) Kingston's mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer when Gwen was just three years old. Defying the odds, she lived another eight years, during which time she filled a chest with gifts and letters to Gwen and her brother, Jamie, for every major milestone and birthday through age thirty. The day Gwen got her driver's license. The day she graduated from high school. Gwen is now in her thirties and, when Did I Ever Tell You? begins, three unopened boxes remain: engagement, marriage, and first baby. Two decades after her passing, Gwen's mother's extraordinary efforts created a lifelong conversation beyond the grave.
