June Not Fiction Book Discussion

Join us for a virtual discussion of our June title, Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America by Eliza Griswold. "At heart a David-and-Goliath story fit for the movies" (Joann Wypijewski, The New York Times Book Review), Amity and Prosperity draws on seven years of immersive reporting to tell the story of Stacey Haney, a struggling single mom who becomes a renegade environmental and social justice activist during the fracking boom in Pennsylvania.

When? Tuesday, June 2, at 6:30 p.m.
