We are thrilled to announce our next gathering, where we will dive into the evocative world of Laila Ibrahim. Whether you are a long-time fan of her historical fiction or looking for a compelling new read, this is a session you won't want to miss.

The Featured Selection
We will discuss Mustard Seed, the powerful second installment in the Yellow Crocus series. Set in the wake of the Civil War, the novel follows the journey of Lisbeth and Mattie as they navigate the complexities of freedom, family, and the enduring bonds formed in the face of systemic injustice. It is a poignant exploration of healing and the courage required to build a new future.

Event Details
Join us for a deep dive into the themes of the book and a lively group discussion. We are also incredibly excited to share that the author will be joining us via a live online session to answer questions and provide insight into her writing process!
​
  • Date: Thursday, April 30th
  • Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
  • Location: Room 323 at First UU or Online (Link available upon request)
  • Special Guest: Laila Ibrahim (Joining virtually)

How to Join
Whether you’ve finished the book or are just starting the final chapters, we welcome your perspective.

We look forward to seeing you there for an evening of great conversation and literary discovery!
