Join us for our monthly book discussion!
In 2007, Mary Anne returned from a humanitarian trip suffering from what her doctors believed was a rare type of hepatitis. Months later, she was diagnosed with a form of advanced pancreatic cancer. This is the inspiring true story of a son and his mother, who start a ‘book club’ that brings them together as her life comes to a close. Prompted by an eclectic array of books and a shared passion for reading, Will and Mary Anne carry on wide-ranging, deeply personal conversations, discussing questions of faith and courage as well as everyday topics such as expressing gratitude and learning to listen. The result is a profoundly moving tale of loss and a joyful celebration of life: Will’s love letter to his mother, and theirs to the printed page.
Program schedule is subject to change. Contact the library (10 days for Oahu; 15 days for neighbor islands) in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if special accommodations are needed.
