Book Club for Adults April 2
April's book discussion of Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas will be on the 2nd at 6:30 pm in the library's Community Room. Ellis, Colorado, a small town bordering the Rockies, becomes the site of a relocation camp during World War II. Our narrator, a young teenager, notes that her first impression was not of the "yellow peril" of the newspaper cartoons but people who looked so ordinary. So begins, Tallgrass which, in the words of current author Gail Tsukiyama, "speaks to a time in our history when prejudice and fear fueled passions that divided family and friends." This book gives participants much to discuss about how our country reacted to wartime dangers and how we react today.
