Orrville Public Library’s February Book Club selection is based on a notorious true-life scandal. “Before We Were Yours” by Lisa Wingate starts with a Memphis family in 1939 that lived aboard a shantyboat on the Mississippi River.
The five siblings end up in a Tennessee orphanage. Many years later Avery Stafford, living a life of wealth and privilege, has her world shaken by a chance encounter. She begins the journey through her family’s long-hidden past.
Books are available for checkout at the library's circulation desk in a variety of formats. The group will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19 for discussion. New members and occasional drop-ins are always welcome to the group.
