We READ, We TALK Book Club – Registration

Register at ofpl.online for a copy of Reservation Restless by Jim Kristofic now through October 16th.

As a park ranger, Kristofic explores the Ganado valley, traces the paths of the Anasazi, and finds mythic experiences on sacred mountains that explain the pain and loss promised for every person who decides to love. After reconnecting with his Navajo sister and brother, Kristofic must confront his own nightmares of the Anglo society and the future it has created.

Zoom discussions will be held in November and will include the author himself!
