Our newest selection:
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction. Brilliantly reported and beautifully crafted, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down explores the clash between the Merced Community Medical Center in California and a refugee family from Laos over the care of Lia Lee, a Hmong child diagnosed with severe epilepsy. Lia's parents and her doctors both wanted what was best for Lia, but the lack of understanding between them led to tragedy.
Love the new look of the blog ,Ali. Thanks for doing this. I read the new book choice years ago for my other book club. It's well written and really shows the clash between what we think we're providing and who's on the receiving end.I should read it again,it's been a long time.But,won't be able to come to book club in May--G and I are going to be away most of May-California and Maui. Assuming my ET is granted,that is. So will have to read about the drink and food choices on the blog. Monica
