“The veil between the material and spiritual worlds is thinner and more permeable in Gallup, New Mexico. It is a place that is disproportionately and simultaneously wonderful and terrible. A reservation border-town with a remarkably diverse citizenry, Gallup started out as a railroading and coal mining community with an alcohol-soaked, violent history. It is a place of
constant struggle where the forces of good and evil are joined in combat and where each resident faces their own inner struggles. This book isn’t just for Gallupians or New Mexicans; it is both a memoir and history about real people facing Goliath struggles.”
Books will be available to purchase on a first-come, first-serve basis.

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood is the next Book Club read.
“As the daughter of a meth dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. Struggling to raise her little brother, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible “adult” around. She finds peace in the starry Midwestern night sky above the fields behind her house. One night everything changes when she witnesses one of her father’s thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold, wreck his motorcycle. What follows is a powerful and shocking love story between two unlikely people that asks tough questions, reminding us of all the ugly and wonderful things that life has to offer.”
