Boston ABG April Meeting

1004 Tremont Street, Roxbury Crossing MA

Description

When history gets erased, it's doomed to repeat itself. But not on our watch. So what do you do when given chance to really fight for something? Our April 2021 pick is Misa Sugiura's "This Time Will Be Different" a YA coming-of-age story and 2020 YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection. Everyone is welcome, but AAPI-identifying people are especially encouraged to join. The meeting will be held via Zoom (link to be shared!) About the book: Katsuyamas never quit--but seventeen-year-old CJ doesn't even know where to start. She's never lived up to her mom's type A ambition, and she's perfectly happy just helping her aunt, Hannah, at their family's flower shop. She doesn't buy into Hannah's romantic ideas about flowers and their hidden meanings, but when it comes to arranging the perfect bouquet, CJ discovers a knack she never knew she had. A skill she might even be proud of. Then her mom decides to sell the shop--to the family who swindled CJ's grandparents when thousands of Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps during WWII. Soon a rift threatens to splinter CJ's family, friends, and their entire Northern California community; and for the first time, CJ has found something she wants to fight for. https://fb.me/e/2fgQJwzv2
