Our October Book Club Selection is
Rain in the Valley by Helen Papinkolas

Helen Papinkolas was one of the first (and most important) 
historians of the Greek American experience. Rain in the Valley is
a fictionalized account of her important work. The novel follows three generations of the Demas family as they struggle and thrive among the
vibrant Greek community of the Inner-Mountain West. It is a story
that finds universal resonance in its daring specificity. Rain in the Valley will change how you think about the Greek American
experience and the “American Dream” forever.
Our upcoming Book Club selections:
 
October 15th – Rain in the Valley by Helen Papanikolas
November 19th – The Odyssey by Homer, as translated by Emily Wilson
December 17th – Calypso by David Sedaris
