SUMMARY:Brown Bag Books - Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Books - Underground Railroad  The Brown Bag Book for 
 April is Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead (Fiction)\n\n\n\n\n“Co
 ra is a young slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even amo
 ng her fellow Africans\, she is on the cusp of womanhood—where greater p
 ain awaits. And so when Caesar\, a slave who has recently arrived from Vir
 ginia\, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad\, she seizes the
  opportunity and escapes with him. In ... (this book) ... the Underground 
 Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret ne
 twork of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks
  on a harrowing flight from one state to the next\, encountering\, like Gu
 lliver\, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As
  Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era\, he w
 eaves in the saga of our nation\, from the brutal abduction of Africans to
  the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is 
 both the gripping tale of one woman’s will to escape the horrors of bond
 age—and a powerful meditation on the history we all share.” (Amazon)\n
 \n\n\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except in July and Au
 gust. Many attendees bring their lunches\, and everyone brings a sense of 
 humor. Monthly sessions are always lively and enjoyable.\n\nBooks chosen b
 y the group for discussion are usually listed in the Order of Service and
