This year’s second book presentation will be "The Sunflower Boys" by Sam Wachman, and is presented by Jessica O’Connor.
From the publisher: "A harrowing and gorgeous tale of love, identity, lost innocence, and survival set in a time of devastating war, "The Sunflower Boys" is a powerful, heartrending exploration of young queer love, the Ukrainian spirit, and a family’s struggle to survive." This is the author’s first novel.
In 2026, the program will take place on Wednesdays at noon, through February 11, at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, 171 W. Pulteney Street in Corning.
Presenters usually speak for 30 minutes or so, and allow 15-20 minutes for questions.
Additional support for Books Sandwiched In comes from Card Carrying Books & Gifts.
