Please join us in our monthly reading group. Books and discussions will include topics that revolve around women’s issues in society as perceived through literature. We will discuss the history of each concept and discuss how far women’s roles have changed in society over the years. Our discussions will be fun and lively with a chance to explore interesting topics and make new friends.

Summary: Forced to flee their native Caribbean island after an attempted coup, the Garcias–Carlos, Laura, and their four daughters–must learn a new way of life in the Bronx, while trying to cling to the old ways that they loved.
