After 2 dangerous and unsuccessful attempts, George has promised his wife, Ruth that he will not leave her and their 3 small children again. But he is haunted by those failures, as well as his perceived failures during his service in WWI, and when the opportunity presents itself to try again, George accepts without consulting Ruth. The book beautifully blends Ruth’s world, her unconditional love for George, and her anger and fear with George’s unrelenting need for glory and redemption. It pulled me into both realities and I couldn’t put it down.”</p> <p><strong>You Are What You Read is our “Staff Recommends” GONE WILD and features recommendations from Darien Library staff members. <a href="http://clicks.skem1.com/signup/?c=1fECAH" target="_blank">And you don’t have to live in Darien to receive an email with our top picks!</a></strong></p></blockquote>http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908417908http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908417908Mon, 20 May 2013 10:34:56 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9b609a059eb03d433990be14ad77df44/tumblr_mknlelR4Xw1s9e7bfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908383826http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908383826Mon, 20 May 2013 10:34:14 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e824afc5941460e733e58925bc14b83c/tumblr_mmy2cn37o51r4zwreo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Support NYPL <3 New York loves our libraries! </p> <p><a href="http://www.nypl.org/speakout" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.nypl.org/speakout" target="_blank">http://www.nypl.org/speakout</a></a></p>http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908344106http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908344106Mon, 20 May 2013 10:33:25 -0400supportsave the librariessave the librarylettershelppatronslovefreesmilekeep us alivekeep us safekeep us opennyplnew york public libraryNew Dorpnew dorp librarynew yorknew york citylibrarybooksplease helpreadinghappyjoyopencommunity<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a4fd385b4fca9d8552af7e58d552ed7d/tumblr_mmy3n6FAnT1srptxno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908114838http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908114838Mon, 20 May 2013 10:28:40 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwcv8rLfUq1qztsrto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908014677http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908014677Mon, 20 May 2013 10:26:34 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ibdjHRJ21qd11c7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908012672http://newdorplibrary.tumblr.com/post/50908012672Mon, 20 May 2013 10:26:32 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5f22c37b75b856d55efb574bf9aee735/tumblr_mmyimp1AzZ1rujn76o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><span>Thousands of immigrants rely on the Library for free English classes.
