In February, we are reading A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline. Copies are available at the Downtown Information Desk.

To Christina Olson, the entire world was her family’s remote farm in the small coastal town of Cushing, Maine. Born in the home her family had lived in for generations, and increasingly incapacitated by illness, Christina seemed destined for a small life. Instead, for more than twenty years, she was host and inspiration for the artist Andrew Wyeth, and became the subject of one of the best known American paintings of the twentieth century.

We will meet in person in the Downtown Library Community Room and simultaneously on Zoom.
