Join us for book meeting and discussion on Wednesday, February 4th, as we discuss "Paper Girl: a Memoir of Home and Family in a Fractured America" by Beth Macy.Paper Girl is Beth Macy’s personal and reported return to her hometown of Urbana, Ohio, where she grew up in a struggling but connected community that once had strong schools, stable jobs, and civic pride. When she comes back years later while caring for her ailing mother, she finds a town that feels angrier and more fractured—its newspaper gone, its economy hollowed out, mental health crises rising, and many friends and family pulled into conspiracy thinking. By closely examining what changed in Urbana, Macy uses one town’s story to explore larger national issues about economic decline, loss of community, misinformation, and the search for dignity and hope in modern America.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
