- Book Discussion: The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food and Love by Kristin KimballJoin fellow readers and library staff for a lively discussion of The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food and Love by Kristin Kimball.
Single, thirty-something, working as a writer in New York City, Kristin Kimball was living life as an adventure. But she was beginning to feel a sense of longing for a family and for home. When she interviewed a dynamic young farmer, her world changed. Kristin knew nothing about growing vegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving horses. But on an impulse, smitten, if not yet in love, she shed her city self and moved to five hundred acres near Lake Champlain to start a new farm with him.
Kimball and her husband had a plan: to grow everything needed to feed a community. It was an ambitious idea, a bit romantic, and it worked. Every Friday evening, all year round, a hundred people traveled to Essex Farm to pick up their weekly share of the "whole diet"—beef, pork, chicken, milk, eggs, maple syrup, grains, flours, dried beans, herbs, fruits, and forty different vegetables—produced by the farm. The work is done by draft horses instead of tractors, and the fertility comes from compost. Kimball’s vivid descriptions of landscape, food, cooking—and marriage—are irresistible. More

- BookendS: Room by Emma DononghueBookendS is a book discussion group geared toward young adults, 18 to 30 (but we don't check IDs). It takes place the third Monday of each month at Manitowoc Coffee, right across the street from Manitowoc Public Library.
About the Book . . .
To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire
world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his
Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma
shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when
Old Nick visits.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison
where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through
determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a
life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him.
She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's
bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how
unprepared she is for the plan to actually work.
Told entirely in the
language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, Room is a
celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and
child, a brilliantly executed novel about what it means to journey from
one world to another. More
