Pat
Gorthy of Lyons recently read
"They Left Us Everything," by Canadian writer Plum Johnson and
will
share her views of the book at the February 10, Newark Public
Library Friends
Luncheon.
Ms. Gorthy is a retired teacher and is a regular contributor to area library and historical society functions.
One
reviewer describes the story as
a "warmly candid memoir of navigating family, aging, and
death." The writer's
debut memoir tells of a
daughter's struggle as she learned to cope with the houseful
of mementos and
memories her parents left after their deaths. Going through
her parents
possessions, she realized that she never really knew her free
spirited, war
bride mother.
The February 10, 2017 book review is the last of the 2016-2017 series and will include a light lunch and desert for $5.00. Reservations are a must by February 7. Call the library at 315-331-4370. The Newark Public Library is located at 121 High Street, directly across from the Newark-Arcadia Museum.
