Longwood Gardens Community Read Book Discussion of "The Home Place" Online
This year's Longwood Gardens Community Read featured book for adults is The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature by J. Drew Lanham. Birds are a lifelong passion for Lanham, and in The Home Place, he also examines his personal history and struggles. Readers follow his journey as a successful wildlife ecologist who along the way uncovers lessons about legacy and his own need to inject a deeper sense of human caring into his life and work. Join us for our virtual discussion of a book author Helen MacDonald has called "a ground-breaking work about race and the American landscape".
Physical copies of the book may be reserved at https://catalog.ccls.org. eBook and eAudiobook copies are available at https://chester.overdrive.com.
