First is the family we grew up with. We may marry and create one or more families of our own. Our children, grown and independent, leave us with the remnants of family life. Perhaps they are scattered, but they still belong to us. We also have an important "family" or friends whom we do not want to lose. Each of these concentric family circles profoundly affects the others and helps shape our personalities, our life choices and our relationships with the larger world.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 7pm</span><br />Book: 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez<br />Speaker: Craig Doherty<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 7pm</span><br />Book: Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant by Anne Tyler<br />Speaker: Suzanne Brown<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 7pm</span><br />Book: Sula by Toni Morrison<br />Speaker: Holly Perrault<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 7pm</span><br />Book: House of Sky by Ivan Doig<br />Speaker: Emily Archer<br /><br />Sponsored by the Berlin Public Library and the White Mountain Community College, Berlin.
