Non Fiction Book Club
We will meet on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 3:00 pm to discuss The Little Book of Aliens by Adam Frank. Frank, an astrophysicist at the University of Rochester, addresses the biggest questions in our search for extraterrestrial life in this little book. Drawing from his own work and that of other scientists studying the possibility of alien life, he brings together the latest scientific thinking, data, ideas and discoveries to equip us with the critical facts as we stand at the last moment of human history where we believe we are alone.
Our meetings are in a hybrid format with both in person attendance and via Zoom. Zoom information will be distributed prior to each meeting (see below).

We've chosen The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride:
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshe's theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe.
