At the end of each meeting, members can make suggestions for future reads. Please come prepared to share two things you liked about the book, two things it could have improved on, and any other thoughts you have about the book. Registration is required. Copies of the book can be found at the front desk.

Summary - Set in the 1990s, North Korea is experiencing a severe famine. Yebin, an orphan girl, considers to defect to China for a chance to find food, even though defection is considered highly treasonous. Wondering if she will rot away in North Korea, Yebin finds a secret note from her mother, written months before she was taken away, instructing her to defect with the help of a family friend. How will Yebin survive in a starving, hopeless country all by herself?
