The CAA Book Club – “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride”
Sunday, January 5th, 2025 at 10:15am
The CAA Book Club will next meet on Sunday, January 5, 2025. We’ll be discussing The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride.
About the book: The author describes how, in 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.
CLICK HERE to learn more about this story.
Join us to talk about this intriguing book! We meet at the synagogue at 10:15am for coffee and begin our discussion at 10:30am.
Hope to see you there!
