Book Club 6:30 – 7:30 P.M. @ Wayne Public Library
Book Club will kick off the New Year with a discussion about “Where the Crawdads
Sing.” Our club will meet on Tuesday, Jan. 28th from 6:30-7:30 PM in the Senior
Center. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town
on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found
dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not
what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that
she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes
when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become
intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life–until the unthinkable
happens.
