SUMMARY:Adult Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, April 21\, at 5:15 PM in discussing “Transcendent Kingdom” by Yaa Gyasi. Copies of this book may be picked up at the circulation desk starting April 1. \nGifty is a fifth-year candidate in neuroscience at Stanford School of Medicine studying reward-seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother\, Nana\, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after a knee injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her.  \nBut even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family’s loss\, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised\, whose promise of salvation remains as tantalizing as it is elusive. Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanaian immigrants ravaged by depression and addiction and grief–a novel about faith\, science\, religion\, love. Exquisitely written\, emotionally searing\, this is an exceptionally powerful follow-up to Gyasi’s phenomenal debut.
