KB members are invited to join our book group where we will learn together through reading, self-reflection, and discussion. We will read both non-fiction and fiction (current and historical fiction) and will also share online resources with each other that will support our learning and current experiences. This is a peer-supported group and not led by an expert on the subject. We are on a learning journey and hope you will join us.

October 24 – Mustard Seed, by Laila Ibrahim, Zoom with author Laila Ibrahim, historical fiction.
If you have a chance to read Yellow Crocus first, you may enjoy doing so as Mustard Seed is the 2nd in a series of 4 books – I recommend all 4 of them, by the way!
