April 29, 2025 Book ~
The Road From Gap Creek
The next meeting will be on Tuesday, April 29, 2025; coffee and conversation at 2:00 pm; book discussion at 2:30 p.m.
The April selection is The Road From Gap Creek by Robert Morgan. One of America’s most acclaimed writers returns to the land on which he has staked a literary claim to paint an indelible portrait of a family – the family we first met in Gap Creek: The Story of a Marriage – in a time of unprecedented change. In a compelling weaving of fact and fiction, Robert Morgan tells a family’s captivating story, set during WWII and the Great Depression. Driven by the uncertainties of the future, the family struggles to define itself against the vivid Appalachian landscape. The Road From Gap Creek explores modern American history through the lives of an ordinary family persevering through extraordinary times.
The Road From Gap Creek is available to Regional Readers for $10 per copy.
The book group is open to all and new members are always welcome. We encourage suggestions for the 2025 reading list.
