Class Description:
Join us for a five-part reading and discussion series on the theme "A Mind of Her Own."

"I carried her in my arms," Tevye sighs as another daughter goes her own way — and so begins a modern literary tradition of Jewish fathers and daughters who get carried away with politics, money, sex, religion, and, above all, one another.

Interested readers are encouraged to register and pick up a copy of the first book at Northwest Library. Please register for each session individually.
