SUMMARY:Local Author Visit: Walt Pickut
DESCRIPTION:Walt Pickut\, author of The First Counterspy\, a book with local connections. \nThis is a “pulse-quickening and traumatic story of spy and counterspy and an American family unwittingly caught in their web.” \nUntil this case\, the FBI had never recruited civilian counterspies to catch a Soviet agent. The first two were Larry Haas\, a leading aviation engineer at Bell Aviation\, and Leona Franey\, head librarian at Bell’s technical library. The FBI pitted them against a Soviet agent\, Andrei Ivanovich Schevchenko\, operating legally as one of the highest Soviet officials in the United States during WWII\, and illegally as the secret head of a wide-ranging spy network hidden within the American aviation industry. \nThe First Counterspy lays out this exciting story and\, later\, the consequences of Schevchenko’s deadly threat of vengeance against Haas\, the counterspy who betrayed him. The threat was uttered in a mere fourteen seconds but generated lethal consequences that long outlived Schevchenko\, tormented Larry Haas\, killed his wife\, and subjected his daughter\, Kay (the co-author of this book)\, to decades of nearly fatal harassment. \nAnd thereby hangs a tale of spy vs. spy intrigue against the backdrop of the home front during World War II.

SUMMARY:Books Unlimited Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Women by Kristin Hannah \nFrom the celebrated author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds comes Kristin Hannah’s The Women—at once an intimate portrait of coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided. \nWomen can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words\, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched\, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents\, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965\, the world is changing\, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam\, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. \nAs green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight\, Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death\, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war\, she meets—and becomes one of—the lucky\, the brave\, the broken\, and the lost. \nBut war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America\, to angry protesters\, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. \nThe Women is the story of one woman gone to war\, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism\, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era. \n  \nCopies are available through the library system. \nNo registration is required.

SUMMARY:Virtual Adult Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Light and Air by Mindy Nichols Wendell \nIt’s 1935\, and tuberculosis is ravaging the nation. Everyone is afraid of this deadly respiratory illness. But what happens when you actually have it? \nWhen Halle and her mother both come down with TB\, they are shunned—and then they are sent to the J.N. Adam Tuberculosis Hospital: far from home\, far from family\, far from the world. \nTucked away in the woods of upstate New York\, the hospital is a closed and quiet place. But it is not\, Halle learns\, a prison. Free of her worried and difficult father for the first time in her life\, she slowly discovers joy\, family\, and the healing power of honey on the children’s ward\, where the girls on the floor become her confidantes and sisters. But when Mama suffers a lung hemorrhage\, their entire future—and recovery—is thrown into question…. \nLight and Air deals tenderly and insightfully with isolation\, quarantine\, found family\, and illness. Set in the fully realized world of a 1930s hospital\, it offers a tender glimpse into a historical epidemic that has become more relatable than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As Halle tries to warm her father’s coldness and learns to trust the girls and women of the hospital\, and as she and her mother battle a disease that once paralyzed the country\, a profound message of strength\, hope\, and healing emerges. \nA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection \nAUTHOR BIO: \nMindy Nichols Wendell writes middle grade historical fiction. Before beginning her writing career\, Mindy taught writing and literature at SUNY Fredonia for more than thirty years. In 2019\, Mindy received the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. She lives in western New York with her husband\, Steve\, a retired elementary school teacher.
