sharing stories of her life in Indonesia during WWII.
Thank you, Louise, for adding to our understanding of
The Flamboya Tree.

June’s
book is Neither Wolf nor Dog, by Kent
Nerburn (available in paperback and at the Kitsap
Library).
From the
book’s cover, this description:
Against an unflinching backdrop of contemporary
reservation life and the majestic spaces of the
western Dakotas ... tells the story of two men, one
white and one Indian, locked in their own
understandings yet struggling to find a common voice
... draws us deep into the world of a Native
American elder named Dan who leads Kent through
Indian towns and down forgotten roads that swirl
with the memories of the Ghost Dance and Sitting
Bull. Along the way we meet a vivid cast of
characters ranging from Jumbo, a 400-pound
mechanic, to Annie, an eighty-year-old Lakota woman
living in a log cabin with no running water ...
takes us past the myths and stereotypes of the
Native American experience, revealing an America few
ever see.
We’ll
gather at the church on Saturday, June 18, at 9:00 am to
discuss this fascinating book. Please join us!
Saturday, July 23rd - 11:00 am at the

And in
July we have a special treat. We’re reading An
Embarrassment of Mangoes, by Ann Vanderhoof.
This
book has been described as Under the Tuscan Sun
on a sailboat in the Caribbean: the author and
her husband abandon their esteemed careers in
mid-life to navigate the Caribbean on a sailboat,
discovering local culture in each tiny port, and
collecting original sumptuous recipes along the way.
Please
join us at the church on Saturday, July 23, at 11:00 am
for a potluck luncheon drawn from the book’s recipes.
Contact
Amy Steed via
email or (360) 396-0037 to coordinate which recipe you’d
like to prepare.
