The CMI Book Club will meet to discuss the best-selling recent novel "The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store" by James McBride. Please bring your lunch and we will provide coffee and tea

James McBride’s “The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store” was inspired by his own Jewish grandmother, who ran a grocery store in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Pottstown, Pennsylvania in the 1930s and ’40s. McBride’s recreation of the place and time is a rollicking story of two communities coming together around a common, racist enemy." ~ Andrew Silow-Carroll, The Best Jewish Books I read in 2023
