October 2014 Book Club

September 17, 2014 By Cedar Springs Public Library

Join us Monday, October 20th at 7:00pm for the Book Club discussion of “Annie’s Ghosts” by Steve Luxenberg.

Oct Book Blub-Annie's Ghosts

Oct Book Blub-Annie’s Ghosts


Here is a teaser…

My mother was an only child. That’s what she told everyone, sometimes within minutes of meeting them. When I heard that my mother had been hiding the existence of a sister, I was bewildered. A sister? I was certain that she had no siblings, just as I knew that her name was Beth, that she had no middle name, and that she had raised her children to, above all, tell the truth.

Through personal letters and photographs, official records and archival documents, as well as dozens of interviews, readers will revisit my mother’s world in the 1930s and 1940s in search of how and why the secret was born. The easy answer—shame and stigma—is the one that I often heard as I pursued the story. But when it comes to secrets, there are no easy answers, and shame is only where the story begins, not ends.
