This group meets on the second Sunday of the month at 2pm.

In eighteenth century Ghana, two half sisters are born into different villages, each unaware of the other. One marries into a life of comfort and royalty, while the other is captured, imprisoned, and sold into slavery. Homegoing follows the paths of these sisters and their descendents from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. This extraordinary novel illuminates slavery's troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed--and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation.
