Event Details

We are pleased to present Long Beach Library's Historical Fiction Book Club, led by librarian Joan Yonish. This is an in-person program taking place on the 2nd floor of the Library. June's pick is Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate.

Memphis, 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family’s Mississippi River shantyboat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night, Rill is left in charge—until strangers arrive in force.
