One Book One Community Launch Event

ONE BOOK ONE COMMUNITY KICK-OFF
Tuesday, February 9, 2010 - 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
at the Parasol Building (formerly Mel's Diner)

Join us for a book discussion, a book raffle, and free tea and scones at the Parasol Building at The Shops at Rossmoor. This event marks the launch of the second book in the One Book One Community program for Seal Beach, Rossmoor and Los Alamitos.

Our new book will be The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. The story begins in January 1946 when writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, a founding member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. This letter leads to a remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German occupation and a society as extraordinary as its name.
