Book of the Month Clubs Reads When Light Breaks in January
Pick up your copy of Patti Callahan Henry's When Light Breaks, our featured novel for January. Henry has woven her lyrical Southern voice throughout this novel set in landscape of the Lowcountry .
As two women from opposite sides of the same sea meet, a tale unfolds that will draw readers into the heart's remembrances-and the tender awakenings of first love. Though bogged down in the stress of planning her elaborate wedding to a professional golfer, twenty-seven-year-old Kara Larson still makes time to visit ninety-six-year-old Maeve Mahoney at her nursing home. And as Maeve recounts the rambling story of her first love back in Ireland, Kara is driven to remember her own first love: childhood neighbor Jack Sullivan.
Copies are available at the Circulation Desk.
