WORDS Book Group

This book group focuses on authors and stories that explore diverse and underrepresented voices and experiences.
This month's book is "Everything We Never Had" by Randy Ribay.
A little about the book:
Randy Ribay tells the story of a Filipino family over four generations of men: a newly immigrated farmer in California in the 1930s, his son enduring racism at school in the ’60s, his grandson who’s curious about his family history in the ’80s, and finally, his great-grandson enduring the Covid pandemic in 2020. This National Book Award-longlisted novel might be classified as YA, but its portrayal of living, breathing immigrant experience—and how it evolves through decades—resonates at any age.
Books will be available at the Main Desk for one month before this meeting. New members are always welcome.
