Book Group
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
Tues., August 26 at 7 p.m. - Lounge
In July 1962, a Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, their youngest child vanishes. In Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. She will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret.
Read this work of fiction and then join the discussion. If you have questions about St. Paul’s Book Group, please contact Sharon D. through the church at churchofficestpaulsuccfleetwood@gmail.com.
