The Book Discussion for January will be held on Tuesday, January 31st at 6:30 at the Lanpher Library. The title is "The Water is Wide", by Pat Conroy.
"The island is nearly deserted, haunting, beautiful. Across a slip of ocean lies South Carolina. But for the handful of families on Yamacraw Island, America is a world away. For years the people here lived proudly from the sea, but now its waters are not safe. Waste from industry threatens their very existence--unless, somehow, they can learn a new life. But they will learn nothing without someone to teach them, and their school has no teacher. Here is Pat Conroy's most extraordinary human drama--based on the true story of a man who gave a year of his life to give an island and a people a new lifetime."
