\"Caz<\/a>(Cazenovia, NY \u2013 May 2015) Open Evening Book Club: \u00a0Wednesday May 13\u00a0at 7 p.m. in the Story Garden Room.\u00a0\u00a0All are welcome.<\/p>\n

For their May 13\u00a0meeting, the \u201cOpen Evening Book Club\u201d is reading Candace Millard\u2019s\u00a0Destiny of the Republic, described by\u00a0The Washington Post\u00a0as \u201ca fresh narrative that plumbs some of the most dramatic days in U.S. presidential history.\u201d<\/p>\n

This\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling novel tells the story of James Garfield, one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president.\u00a0 \u00a0Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, a renowned congressman, and a reluctant presidential candidate who took on the nation’s corrupt political establishment.<\/p>\n

But four months after his inauguration in 1881, he was shot in the back by a deranged office-seeker named Charles Guiteau. Garfield survived the attack, but became the object of bitter, behind-the-scenes struggles for power\u2014over his administration, over the nation’s future, and, hauntingly, over his medical care.<\/p>\n

Meticulously researched, epic in scope, and pulsating with an intimate human focus and high-velocity narrative drive,\u00a0The Destiny of the Republic\u00a0brings alive a forgotten chapter of U.S. history.”\u00a0(Amazon.com)<\/p>\n

This novel\u00a0tells the heartwarming story of an irrepressible woman, the author\u2019s grandmother Lily Casey Smith, who against all odds carved out her own destiny.<\/p>\n

For the first 10 years of her life, Lily Casey Smith lived in a dirt dugout in west Texas.\u00a0By age six, she was helping her father break horses. At fifteen, she left home to teach in a frontier town\u2014riding five hundred miles on her pony, alone, to get to her job. She learned to drive a car and fly a plane. And, with her husband, Jim, she ran a vast ranch in Arizona and raised two children.<\/p>\n

Fiercely outspoken against hypocrisy and prejudice, Lily is a spirited heroine, a rodeo rider and fearless breaker of horses, and a ruthless poker player. Assailed by flash floods, tornados and droughts, she never gets far from hardscrabble drudgery, but hers is one of those heartwarming stories about indomitable women that willtransfix readers everywhere.\u00a0(Amazon.com)<\/p>\n
