Join us at the Non-fiction Book Club as we read amazing stories of real life events!This month we discuss Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May: "Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, Mayâs story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season." --Provided by the PublisherThis club is for adults (ages 18 ) who want to expand their horizons and knowledge through non-fiction books.

Since its debut, the Revue has performed for a wide range of cultural, residential, and civic organizations for all types of occasions in a variety of venues across Monroe County - and beyond!
