McAuliffe Morning Book Group: Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

Join the McAuliffe Morning Book Group for this month's pick: Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. Come in person to the McAuliffe Branch or join via Zoom. Register for the Zoom link.

Based on one of America’s most notorious real-life scandals—in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country—Lisa Wingate’s riveting, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong.

McAuliffe Book Discussion (Morning): Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala

When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case. Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block...

Join us on January 16 for our next McAuliffe Book Discussion: The Children’s Blizzard by Melanie Benjamin.
