Island Morning Book Club: Home Front, by Kristin Hannah
This book club is led by Joan Pettigrew and meets the third Thursday at 10:15 am. All are welcome and their list of book club picks are available at the front desk.
Explores the sacrifices of one American family and illuminates the true cost of honor, duty, and love. From a distance, Michael and Joleen Zarkades seem to have it all: a solid marriage, two exciting careers, and children they adore. But after twelve years together, the couple has lost their way; they are unhappy and edging toward divorce. Then the Iraq war starts. An unexpected deployment will tear their already fragile family apart, sending one of them deep into harm's way and leaving the other at home, waiting for news. When the worst happens, each must face their darkest fear and fight for the future of their family.
