"Once Upon a River is a whimsical story with dark undertones, that will leave you guessing until the very end. Amelia. No, Alice. Or is it Ann? – is saved from drowning late on the night of Winter Solstice. All who encounter this four-year-old, have a strong affinity to her. But what is it that draws people to her?

    I’m currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird; somehow it was never required reading for me, and now that’s it won the title of “America’s Best-Loved Book (among its other literary awards),” I’m very interested to see what the fuss is about!

    My current read is The Lying Game by Ruth Ware. It is a psychological thriller found through Reese Witherspoon’s book club.

    I’m currently reading Carols Dunn’s Superfluous Women, a mystery set between the World Wars. Though fiction, I always feel like I’ve learned something about the time period with each entry in her series. (The title comes from the term used for approx 2 million women facing the gender imbalance after so many men were killed in WWI.)

    I am currently reading ‘Dopesick’and find it informative and timely.It is a book concerned citizens should read.I also found the talk last evening by the author,Beth Macy at Central to be an eye opener as regards the opioid epidemic and the people effected by it.
