The next PJC Book Group will be held Monday, December 16 at 8:00pm with author Joan Leegant, to discuss her book of short stories Displaced Persons.


Set half in Israel and half in the United States, the stories in this prize-winning collection explore the experience of exile, belonging, and what it means to call a place home. Shimmering with insight and compassion, Displaced Persons is a profound, exquisite collection that illuminates pivotal moments of transition, longing, and hope.
