Meet to discuss this month's selected title: The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. Book copies are available for check-out at the Kempsville Area Library information desk.   

Set in 1972 in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, the story revolves around workmen excavating a new development's foundation, where they unexpectedly discover a skeleton in a well.  This discovery sets off a narrative that explores the long-held secrets of Chicken Hill, a rundown neighborhood where African Americans and immigrant Jews live together, sharing both hopes and tragedies. (Barnes & Noble)
