On May 3 at 7:30 we will be meeting Marra B. Gad, author of The Color of Love: A Story of a Mixed-Race Jewish Girl.  The Color of Love is an unforgettable memoir about a biracial Jewish woman who, after fifteen years of estrangement from her racist great-aunt, helps bring her home when Alzheimer’s strikes.  The book is winner of the 2020 Midwest Book Award for Autobiography/Memoir.

We look forward to an enlightening discussion with Marra using a question and answer format.  As you read the book, we’d love to gather your question(s)!  Please submit all questions to Kim McConnell (kim@mymcconnell.com) no later than Monday, April 26th.
