Calling All Book Lovers!

Mark your calendar and join us on March 7,2025 at 9:30 for coffee and book discussion with Dr. Michael Hall at Skidaway Island Methodist Church. This event is sponsored by P.E.O. Chapter S. Known for his insight into other cultures and countries, Hall is an entertaining and informative speaker.

Writing in the tradition of great Latin American storytelling, Marisel Vera's The Taste of Sugar is an unforgettable novel of love and endurance, and a timeless portrait of the reasons we leave home.

This book is about Puerto Rico on the eve of the Spanish-American War.

This might make a great discussion book for groups. Plan to bring your book groups!
