Dreams from My Father:
A Story of Race and Inheritance
by Barrack Obama
"Elected the first black president of the
Harvard Law Review, Obama was offered a book contract,
but the intellectual journey he planned to recount
became instead this poignant, probing memoir of an
unusual life. Obama, the son of a white American
mother and a black African father, writes an elegant and
compelling biography that powerfully articulates
America's racial battleground and tells of his search
for his place in black America." (Amazon.com

The Flamboya Tree:
Memories of a Mother's Wartime Courage
by Clara Kelly
"Fifty years after the end of World War
II, Clara Olink Kelly sat down to write a memoir that is
both a fierce and enduring testament to a mother’s
courage and a poignant record of an often overlooked
chapter of the war. How she and her family survived
internment by the Japanese during World War II with the
help of her courageous mother." (From Library Journal)
Louise DeGroen
will be the guest speaker about her experiences of
living in Indonesia during the same time period as Clara
Kelly who wrote
The Flamboya Tree.
