The Life Enrichment Center Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month to discuss books and the reading experience! To join the conversation, please read The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead prior to Tuesday, November 19. Book Description: Based on the real story of a reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers.
