This community book discussion is designed to enhance the individual reader's experience with the book "Under a Flaming Sky." Participants will be inspired to continue to expand their reading adventures by branching out into a variety of genres and topics. One Book, One Community Read hopes to build a stronger community of readers and a community of participants.
The book selection "Under a Flaming Sky" by Daniel James Brown generated a lot of positive feedback. While it was by no means a 'light' read - community members expressed interest and appreciation in learning about an important piece of Minnesota history. Participant comments include: "It is fabulous that a whole community can read one book. Something we can all share together - thank you!" "I have enjoyed all the books we've read. It brings the community together and promotes dialogue."
