Join us as Adele Robins discuss the hugely popular book "Where the Crawdads Sign," by Delia Owens.  For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens."  All are welcome.

This month's selection is "Wally Funk's Race for Space: The Extraordinary Story of a Female Aviation Pioneer," by Sue Nelson.  Wally Funk was among the first group of American pilots to complete NASA's Women in Space program.  Just before the final phase of training the program was abruptly cancelled.  Politics and prejudice meant that none of the women in the program ever went to space.  The author travels with Funk, now nearing 80, as she races to make it into space.  This book is a unique, intimate and entertaining portrait of a true aviation trailblazer.  All are welcome.
