LITWITS
TueSdAY, November 12
PLEASE JOIN A THANKSGIVING -THEMED LITWITS GATHERING!
Zoom will meet at 4:00 pm (the link will go out, hopefully, the day
before), and the in-person, potluck-dinner meeting will begin at 6:30, at Vicki Sigl’s home in San Ramon, CA 94582). Do join us for a great meal, warm fellowship and our always interesting discussion. Be sure to let Vicki know as soon as possible that you will be attending and what wonderful Fall dish you will be bringing to the potluck. If you can, bring a specialty that you often serve for Thanksgiving dinner.
For the November meeting: plan to read James McBride’s The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store. The discovery of a skeleton in Pottstown, Pennsylvania in 1972, not only unearths human remains but it also brings to the fore the secrets of Chicken Hill, “the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side, sharing ambitions and
sorrows.” In Chicken Hill, the Heaven and Earth Grocery Store served them all. Read to find out what it is that sustains us all.
Read Ahead: December’s book involves a choice: either Michael P. Foley’s Why We Kiss Under the Mistletoe OR Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas from Ace Collins.
