Book Group: Lark Ascending

September Book Group: Lark Ascending by Silas House Join us for an in-person discussion on Silas House's Lark Ascending. Join us in the Parlor on Monday, September 14 or via Zoom. To gain access to the virtual link, please contact the Connect Team. Book Description With fires devastating much of America, Lark and his family first leave their home in Maryland for Maine. But as the country increasingly falls under the grip of religious nationalism, it becomes clear that nowhere is safe, not just from physical disasters but also persecution. The family secures a place on a crowded boat headed to Ireland, the last place on earth rumored to be accepting American refugees. A timely, powerful story of survival set in the not-too-distant future, reminding us to always hold on to hope, even in the worst of times. About Book Group On the second Monday of every month, members of OPC and beyond are invited to participate in a group discussion about a trending work either fiction or non-fiction. Each month's moderator provides an introduction on the author before sharing questions that invite members to explore the book's themes and how the work might connect to our everyday lives or broader social issues.
