We’re excited to launch our new community book club. Our book club is open to anyone impacted by mass violence who is looking for connection, discussion, and a welcoming space to simply show up as they are.

You do not need to be an avid reader to participate, please reach out to us if you are interested in excerpts or themes.

Our selection for June discussion is Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt - a moving and hopeful novel about grief, survival, loneliness, friendship, and finding connection in unexpected places. Reading in community can help reduce isolation, encourage reflection, and create opportunities for meaningful conversation and support.

ASL interpretation provided.

If you are having difficulty finding a copy of this book please reach out to us at info@maineresiliencycenter.org or 207-515-3930.
