We READ, We TALK Book Club

OFPL’s Book Club is reading Reservation Restless by Jim Kristofic.

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 on:

Tuesday, November 16th
Starts at 6:00 PM with
Jim Kristofic in attendance
Saturday, November 20th
Starts at 3:00 PM.

When Nathan goes to visit his grandma, Nali, at her mobile summer home on the Navajo reservation, he knows he’s in for a pretty uneventful summer. Still, he loves spending time with Nali, and with his uncle Jet—though it’s clear when Jet arrives that he brings his problems with him.
