FEBRUARY BOOK OF THE MONTH SELECTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m STOKED to see Kristin Hannah’s “The Four Winds<\/strong>” as a BOTM selection! It’s also one<\/em><\/span> of Jenna’s book pick for February! I already pre-ordered the signed copy of it from a local bookstore though, so I opted to choose other books for my box this month instead. <\/span>

There are the 5 main picks and only 2 addons this month. I chose GIRL A<\/strong>, INFINITE COUNTRY<\/strong>, and SEND FOR ME<\/strong> (also one of Jenna’s February picks) as my addon. Which books are you most excited about!?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A promise could betray you.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 2008, and the rise of Barack Obama ushers in a new kind of hope. In Chicago, Ruth Tuttle, an Ivy-League educated black engineer, is married to a kind and successful man. He\u2019s eager to start a family, but Ruth is uncertain. She has never gotten over the baby she gave birth to\u2014and abandoned\u2014when she was a teenager. She had promised her family she\u2019d never look back, but Ruth knows that to move forward, she must make peace with the past.<\/p>\n

Returning home, Ruth discovers the Indiana factory town of her youth is plagued by unemployment, racism, and despair. While her family is happy to see her, they remind her of the painful sacrifices to give Ruth a shot at a better future\u2014like the comfortable middle-class life she now enjoys.<\/p>\n

Determined, Ruth begins digging into the past. As she uncovers burning secrets her family desperately wants to hide, she unexpectedly befriends Midnight, a young white boy who is also adrift and looking for connection. When a traumatic incident strains the town\u2019s already searing racial tensions, Ruth and Midnight find themselves on a collision course that could upend both their lives.<\/p>\n

The Kindest Lie<\/em> examines the heartbreaking divide between black and white communities and plumbs the emotional depths of the struggles faced by ordinary Americans in the wake of the financial crisis. Capturing the profound racial injustices and class inequalities roiling society, Nancy Johnson\u2019s debut novel offers an unflinching view of motherhood in contemporary America and the never-ending quest to achieve the American Dream.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
