Take One Candle, Light a Room is a powerfully moving story about the ways in which we find a place for ourselves within our families and the world. All three characters will come face-to-face with the issues of race that beset them: Fantine, whose light black skin has eased her way in the world; her father, who grew up in the Jim Crow South; and her son Victor, whose fall into violence mirrors the path of so many other black men his age.
Susan Straight is a special author to us and a perfect fit for reading groups, so we'll be doing this event as a special Reading Group Night. There will be refreshments and book give-aways, and for one night only, Take One Candle, Light a Room will be available at our 20% reading group discount.
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
