Register at either library during the month of January or online above for a free copy of The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston.
An exhilarating blend of autobiography and mythology, of world and self, of hot rage and cool analysis. As a girl, Kingston lives in two confounding worlds: the California to which her parents have immigrated and the China of her mother’s “talk stories.”
The fierce and wily women warriors of her mother’s tales clash jarringly with the harsh reality of female oppression out of which they come.
Get ready for some great conversations, good food and tons of fun!

I registered last week. This is your first. When do I come in to check out the book. I am going to be out of town from the 16th through the 24th.
I meant this is my first time to participate in the book club.
