Hague Park Flyers (reminder for January)

Hello All! Just a reminder: for January's book, we are reading a novel written by a local author, who I happen to know personally. You can purchase his book online at Amazon, but I can get them cheaper from Larry, himself. The cost is $15, and I've copied the portion of my last email below, to describe the book. I would like to get the books from Larry by this Friday. If you want one and can make it to next week's meeting, you can get the book and pay me then. If you want a book and will not be at the meeting, I will still get it for you and make arrangements to get it to you.

***If you haven't already, please let me know by mid-day Thursday if you want me to get a copy of the book from Larry.

• For January's book, we have an exciting event to look forward to. One of my co-workers is an author. His name is Larry Jacobson (L. D. Jacobson). Larry's 2nd novel is Hague Park Flyers and now for sale on Amazon, indiebound.org, or directly from Larry. The cost is quite a bit cheaper if we buy directly from Larry, which is $15. The story is fiction and set in Jackson. Larry has agreed to come and speak at our January meeting. This is something you don't want to miss! He is an awesome speaker and has a great sense of humor. I can purchase all copies at once from Larry for anyone who wants one, at $15 a piece, and bring them to the December meeting for you. Please reply to this email and let me know if you want a copy or not. Larry will sign all of them, personalized to you, at the meeting. Below is a summary of the story:
• On the day his daughter was abducted and killed, police officer Joel Chase was having an affair. He blamed God. Now estranged from his family and existing in a cloud of misery, self-loathing and rage, Joel runs down a suspect in a desolate lakeside park on a rainy night. As he takes out his grief and shame and guilt on the suspect, four words drift down from a willow tree above hiim. Four impossible words dancing on the night air in a voice long buried..."Daddy, don't hurt him." Everything that Joel knows about life, about death, about faith and about God is all going to change with those four words. He has asked God to show him why his daughter had to die - he has demanded it. God has had enough. He has had enough of taking the heat for Joel's bad decisions and demands. He has had enough of being second guessed. Joel Chase is about to have his prayers and his questions answered. Let the nightmare begin.

December's meeting is about Unmeasured Strength, by Lauren Manning. We'll be at Biggby Jackson, 7-9 pm, next Monday, 12/12.

I'll still send another reminder email for December's meeting in a few days. Hope you're having a great week! See you soon...
