Athens: Book Club: “Handle with Care” by Jodi Picoult

Join library staff and other book lovers for engaging discussions of books each month! In April, the group will discuss “Handle with Care” by Jodi Picoult.

In the five years since Willow O’Keefe was born with a rare congenital disorder, her parents have endured sleepless nights, mounting medical bills, and the pitying stares of strangers. A whip-smart child, kind, brave, and an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom, she is beloved by her family—but the burden of her care has strained them to the limit. And when her mother seeks to do Willow justice, alienating those closest to her in the process, she must confront the most serious question of all: What constitutes a valuable life?

No registration is required, and all are welcome! Stop by the library for a copy of the book to check out. For more information, please contact us at 715-257-7292.
