BOOK REVIEW GROUP’S NEXT BOOK
The next book we will review is “Don’t Let Me Go”
written by author Catherine Ryan Hyde. Former
Broadway dancer and current agoraphobic Billy Shine
has not set foot outside his apartment in almost a decade.
He has glimpsed his neighbors – beautiful Rayleen,
lonely old Ms. Hinman, bigoted and angry Mr. Lafferty,
kind-hearted Felipe and 9 year old Grace and her former
addict mother Eileen. But most of them have not seen
Billy. Not until Grace begins to sit outside on the front
stoop for hours every day, inches from Billy’s patio. Billy
makes it far enough out onto his porch to ask Grace why
she doesn’t sit inside. Her answer: “If I sit inside, then
nobody will know I’m in trouble. And then nobody will help
me.” Her answer changes everything. To order the book
and join our review, call Carolyn Shaffer or the church
nd
office. Review will be April 22 .
