Here is the NLS annotation: The berry pickers: a novel DB117941 Author: Peters, Amanda Reading Time: 8 hours, 47 minutes Read by: Jordan Waunch, Aaliya Warbus Subjects: General Fiction, Family, Historical Fiction “A four-year-old Mi'kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a tragic mystery that haunts the survivors, unravels a family, and remains unsolved for nearly fifty years. July 1962. Following in the tradition of Indigenous workers from Nova Scotia, a Mi'kmaq family arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family's youngest child, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother, Joe, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister's disappearance for years to come. In Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren't telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret.” — Provided by publisher. Strong language and some violence. Commercial audiobook. [Prince Frederick, Maryland] : Recorded Books, Inc., [2023] This book can be found on Bookshare at this link: https://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/6211068?returnPath=L3NlYXJjaD9tb2R1bGVOYW1lPXB1YmxpYyZrZXl3b3JkPVRoZSUyQmJlcnJ5JTJCcGlja2Vycw This group currently does not have a scheduled facilitator and we will continue to pick and discuss books as a group.

Description: This month's JHBC selection, The Berry Pickers, by Nova Scotian author Amanda Peters has found a particularly receptive audience within book club communities, including the Jen Hatmaker Book Club, for exploring universal human emotions and experiences, and for  examining unique cultural perspectives.  By masterfully blending her father's compelling stories as a Maine berry picker with her own extensive career in Indigenous governance, The Berry Pickers delves into a unique and original plot surrounding a Mi'kmaw family that grapples with the corrosive effects of guilt and shame, and the possibility of redemption. Peters reveals how the debut novel initially took shape as a short story, but as the beautifully-flawed characters and tendrilled themes began to unfold, the narrative organically expanded into the full-fledged novel that it is now, which has been translated into an impressive 22 languages and has been awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction.  Thought-provoking Quotes: I couldn't have written this story when I was 21 because I didn't have all of the life experience that I have now. – Amanda Peters Fiction readers are just better people because literature is about the human condition; it helps us develop empathy.  – Amanda Peters I love the writing process. I love creating a story. I love that high you get when you get it just right, when a sentence does exactly what I want it to do. – Amanda Peters Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Berry Pickers: A Novel by Amanda Peters - https://amzn.to/4hAYfUM Waiting for the Long Night Moon: Stories by Amanda Peters - https://amzn.to/4hGNTTw John Steinbeck books - https://amzn.to/4c1B1pJ John Steinbeck Center - https://steinbeck.org/ Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction - https://www.ala.org/carnegie-medals/2024-winners Pearly Everlasting: A Novel by Tammy Armstrong - https://amzn.to/420or5r All the Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks - https://amzn.to/420oT3D What Strange Paradise: A novel by Omar El Akkad - https://amzn.to/4kXs8l6 Guest's Links: Website - https://amandapetersauthor.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/amandapetersauthor/ Twitter - https://x.com/amandapetersaut?lang=en Connect with Jen!

The conversation highlights the festival's return after a hiatus and dives into the event's rich history, logistics, and lineup. Dave shares the festival's origin story, starting at Watermelon Park and its evolution over two decades, including challenges like almost canceling due to rain in 2018. He emphasizes the sense of community and the fun of taking a break and coming back refreshed and inspired. The festival offers a diverse array of bluegrass acts and other activities. This year's headliner is Peter Rowan, along with other notable performers like Wyatt Ellis, Della Mae, and John McEuen. The event also features workshops, kids' activities, vendor stalls, and, of course, plenty of opportunities for impromptu jam sessions. Dave talks about the detailed schedule for both days, starting in the evening on September 5, with early arrival music camps with the official kickoff on September 6 with yoga, workshops, and dance sessions, and continuing with performances and other activities. Campers are encouraged to arrive on the 5th to grab prime camping spots - there is no additional fee to camp.  For families, the festival offers a great environment with various kids' activities like recycled instrument making, a parachute and pinata event, and even a festival parade. Besides music, there will be craft vendors and a variety of food stalls. Janet and Dave also discuss the practical aspects such as ticket prices, camping options, and additional amenities like showers. They assure listeners that the festival is designed to be family-friendly and inclusive, with special half-price tickets for teens and free admission for kids under 12. Dave encourages listeners to attend, whether they're camping for the whole weekend or just visiting for the day.
