LIFETIME LEARNING REVEALS 2023 WASHINGTON CO. READ BOOK
Lifetime Learning has announced its selection for the 2023 Washington County READ: This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger.
Best known for his Cork O’Conner series, Krueger’s This Tender Land is his 2019 standalone story of four rag-tag children who run away from an Indian residential school in Minnesota.
Odie, Albert, Emmy and Mose endure neglect, exploitation and abuse at the school, as well as along their journey of escape. However, this does not hold them back from discovering moments of kindness from each other and unexpectedly from strangers.
This Tender Land was a New York Times bestseller. Krueger is the winner of Anthony Awards for best novel in 2005 and 2006 and an Edgar Award for best novel in 2013.
Lifetime Learning will host a free community reception, dramatic reading, and appearance by Krueger at Unity Theatre on November 14th at 5:30 p.m.
