Today's Out of the Ordinary Book:

The Weight of Memory written and read by Shawn Smucker 

Visiting Author, Shawn Smucker shares a reading from his latest novel!

Key Conversation Points:

  • If you've loved anyone that's received the worst news of their life, this book will help you navigate the depths of their feelings.  
  • Here is a story that makes us ask questions about what is real and what is true in our own lives. 
  • Here is a grandpa and a granddaughter who straddle two timelines, two realities and discover where they intersect in beautiful and unexpected ways 
  • Is the lady with the silver hair really who we think she might be?
  • This sticky ending will leave you thinking about it, stuck on Shawn's small town life and four friends whose lives intertwine with a lake and a little girl in deeply mysterious ways.
