Events

This facilitated book group meets from 7:00-8:30pm the 4th Wednesday of each month at Charis
to discuss books which feature queer characters/ storylines as well as
a strong attention to literary craft and style. February's book, The Sweet In-Between by Sheri Reynold, is the story of butch/genderqueer Kenny Lugo who has grown up in a family that's not really her's. Now, as Kenny approaches her eighteenth birthday and the end of the
government checks looms, she is desperate to
prove that this house and these people really do belong to her. But
when a senseless murder occurs next door in their small coastal town,
Kenny can’t get it out of her mind. She has always been consumed by the
ways in which she is different–and inherently unworthy–so the unjust
death of a young woman with everything to live for becomes an
obsession.
