On February 12 the Better Living Book Club will be joining up with Books on Tap at Jimmy's Pub for a book group crossover discussion of Wild by Cheryl Strayed.
Wild traces the personal crisis the author endured after the death of her mother and a painful divorce, which prompted her to undertake a dangerous 1,100-mile hike that both drove her to rock bottom and helped her to heal.
This meeting will also feature guest speaker, Karrie Korroch. Karrie has hiked the Appalachian Trail and will share some of her experiences from the trail.
February's book is A Nest for Celeste by Henry Cole. Join us for a discussion about Celeste, a mouse longing for a real home. Celeste becomes a source of inspiration to teenaged Joseph, assistant to the artist and naturalist John James Audubon, at a New Orleans plantation in 1821.
