This month of October we'll be discussing the book "What Tears Us Apart" by Deborah Cloyed.
Here's a Book Summary:
Love lives in the most dangerous places of the heart
The real world. That's what Leda desperately seeks when she flees her
life of privilege to travel to Kenya. She finds it at a boys' orphanage
in the slums of Nairobi. What she doesn't expect is to fall for Ita, the
charismatic and thoughtful man who gave up his dreams to offer children
a haven in the midst of turmoil.
Their love should be enough for one another-it embodies the soul-deep
connection both have always craved. But it is threatened by Ita's
troubled childhood friend, Chege, a gang leader with whom he shares a
complex history. As political unrest reaches a boiling point and the
slum erupts in violence, Leda is attacked and forced to put her trust in
Chege, the one person who otherwise inspires anything but.
In the aftermath of Leda's rescue, disturbing secrets are exposed, and
Leda, Ita and Chege are each left grappling with their own regret and
confusion. Their worlds upturned, they must now face the reality that
sometimes the most treacherous threat is not the world outside, but the
demons within.
We will be meeting on Sunday October 18 at 2pm in the Alamo Square neighborhood.
