Join us on the first Thursday night of every month at Old York Cellars (80 Old York Rd, Ringoes, NJ 08551) for a lively book discussion in the perfect setting. Each month, we'll explore a new book, diving into compelling stories, engaging characters, and thought-provoking themes. Guests are welcome to enjoy wine, mocktails, and food available for purchase at their own discretion. Come for the books, stay for the ambiance!

This month will be reading "The Snow Child", by Eowyn Ivey. Alaska, 1920: a brutal place to homestead, and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart--he breaking under the weight of the work of the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season's first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone--but they glimpse a young, blonde-haired girl running through the trees. This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side, skims lightly across the snow, and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel struggle to understand this child who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they come to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent place things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform all of them.
