Fireside Readers Book Discussion for June

Fireside Readers Book Discussion Group

On June 7th the book group will meet to discuss We Band of Angels: The Untold Story of American Nurses Trapped on Bataan by the Japanese. The book written by Elizabeth M. Norman offers the inspirational, little-known story of the "Angels of Bataan," the American nurses who worked on Bataan and who were captured along with American soldiers after the fall of Corregidor during World War II. This book celebrates the heroism of the Army and Navy nurses imprisoned for three years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.

The group meets at 7 p.m. in the Community Room. As always, new members and guests are always welcome. Join us, even if you haven’t finished the book! Light refreshments will be served.
