The Book Club at LCGS

November 19 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EST

Revised date!  Zoom registration: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/zUWKKRvLTcqbnfGTrwRstQ

Our November selection is The Orphan Collector by Ellen Marie Wiseman. 

Set in Philadelphia during the 1918 influenza pandemic, this novel follows 13-year-old Pia Lange, a German immigrant girl separated from her family amid fear, prejudice, and loss. The story explores themes of the 1918 flu, World War I-era anti-German sentiment, and life inside a Catholic orphanage — a powerful portrait of survival and hope in a time of chaos.

This is an LCGS member benefit, although you may attend as a one-time guest to see if you would like to join us regularly.
