SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: The Girls We Sent Away
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nThe Girls We Sent Away by Meagan Church\nIt’s the 1960s and Lorraine Delford has it all – an upstanding family\, a perfect boyfriend\, and a white picket fence home in North Carolina. Yet every time she looks through her father’s telescope\, she dreams of the stars. But when this darling girl-next-door gets pregnant\, she’s forced to learn firsthand the realities that keep women grounded. To hide their daughter’s secret shame\, the Delfords send Lorraine to a maternity home for wayward girls. But this is no safe haven – it’s a house with dark secrets and suffocating rules. And as Lorraine begins to piece together a new vision for her life\, she must decide if she has the power to fight for the future she wants or if she must submit to the rules of a society she once admired. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of The Girls We Sent Away.  Books are available upon request starting October 1: https://library.transylvaniacounty.org/ncreads2025/ \nNC Humanities’ virtual book event featuring author Meagan Church can be viewed here.
