Hello everyone, Lena did it. She started the fire and then took off with her 12 year old niece. In our next session of Hooked On Books, we will continue reading Like Normal People, a debut novel by Karen E. Bender. Lena is mentally challenged, her niece a troubled girl on the brink of teenage angst. Back home, Lena has a mother who must be wringing her hands right now. What is she thinking? Karen Bender is a witty writer, and we are enjoying her. How do parents cope with the needs and desires of adult children who are mentally disabled? Read with us tomorrow at 11 Pacific, noon mountain, 1 central and 2 P.M. Eastern time. You can find us in the Friends of Bookshare In Between The Bookends room by joining us at the link below.
