SUMMARY:Book Group: "If You See Them: Young\, Unhoused\, and Alone in America" by Vicki Sokolik
DESCRIPTION:A moving exploration of the crisis of homeless youth—told through the inspiring stories of a woman on the frontlines and the kids themselves. \nThey hide in plain sight. They survive on free school breakfasts and lunches\, join school sports teams in order to shower\, sleep on friends’ couches\, in parks\, or on the streets. Their official designation is “unaccompanied homeless youth”—they are not “runaways” breaking free from strict parenting; these are kids seeking safety. They have escaped abusive parents\, have been abandoned\, or have never had a home to begin with. \nRead more on Amazon \nBrooke Kelly shares this month’s review. \nGrab a cup of coffee and join us monthly for an informal discussion about the best in Florida literature.

Like The Island of Lost Maps\, his bestselling book about a legendary map thief\, Painter in a Savage Land is a compelling search into the mysteries of the past. This is the thrilling story of Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues\, the first European artist to journey to what is now the continental United States with the express purpose of recording its wonders in pencil and paint. Le Moyne’s images\, which survive today in a series of spectacular engravings\, provide a rare glimpse of Native American life at the pivotal time of first contact with the Europeans–most of whom arrived with the preconceived notion that the New World was an almost mythical place in which anything was possible.

SUMMARY:Book Group: "Florida" by Lauren Groff
DESCRIPTION:In her thrilling new book\, Lauren Groff brings the reader into a physical world that is at once domestic and wild—a place where the hazards of the natural world lie waiting to pounce\, yet the greatest threats and mysteries are still of an emotional\, psychological nature. A family retreat can be derailed by a prowling panther\, or by a sexual secret. Among those navigating this place are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy\, grown up; a restless\, childless couple\, a searching\, homeless woman; and an unforgettable\, recurring character—a steely and conflicted wife and mother.
