Book Discussion-Beyond the Ghetto Gates with Author Michelle Cameron
Join us as we welcome Michelle Cameron for a discussion of her critically acclaimed
novel Beyond the Ghetto Gates. Set in Ancona, Italy during the turbulent days of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Italian campaign, Cameron’s historical novel tells the story of
two very different cultures colliding when French troops free the city’s Jews from their repressive ghetto.
"A gripping peek into a bygone Italy and an astute look at the era's prejudice."

This was a busy, fun-filled week for FOML.
Our Fireside Book Group discussed Breathe: A Letter to my Sons by Imani Perry. Jon Michaud led us in a thoughtful consideration of the style, content, and implications
of this work during a historical time of racial reflection.
On Tuesday, twenty children learned about Animals in Winter with the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum, with much appreciated guest appearances by a turtle and an owl. Our mascot, Hooty,
was thrilled to be introduced to another feathered friend!
Later that evening, participants created beautiful mason jars filled with colored and scented bath salts, to give as gifts or use for pampering. We made them in reds,
pinks, and whites for Valentine's Day, and saw examples of green and white ones
for Saint Patrick's Day and rainbow ones in taller vases for spa-like presentation.
Thank you to Stephanie Murphy for inspiring us.
