4:00pm - 5:00pm
Join the Resolute Readers Book Club to discuss Nancy Johnson's 'The Kindest Lie.'
Join us to discuss this month's selection, The Kindest Lie by Nancy Johnson.
Every family has its secrets...
The Kindest Lie examines the heartbreaking divide between black and white communities and plumbs the emotional depths of the struggles faced by ordinary Americans in the wake of the financial crisis. Capturing the profound racial injustices and class inequalities roiling society, Nancy Johnson’s debut novel offers an unflinching view of motherhood in contemporary America and the never-ending quest to achieve the American Dream.
