Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Foley Public Library
Featured Book: The Promise of the Pelican by Roy Hoffman

Join us for our October meeting of the Hooked on Books book club as we dive into Roy Hoffman's compelling novel, The Promise of the Pelican. Set in the multicultural South, this story intertwines a literary crime plot with an intergenerational family drama, exploring themes of justice, immigration, and sacrifice. Hank Weinberg, a retired defense attorney and Holocaust survivor, must return to the courtroom to defend an undocumented immigrant accused of murder, all while caring for his special needs grandson and grappling with his own family's struggles.

Come prepared for a lively discussion as we explore the novel's richly drawn characters and the emotional depths of Hoffman's prose. New members are always welcome!
