Tonight the KMUD Book Club with Leann Greene and friends will be discussing ‘The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride. Have you read it? Call in! In the late 70’s a hurricane reveals a skeleton in the old Chicken Hill neighborhood of Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Its hand grips a necklace some might find mysterious. But, this story isn’t really a mystery, more of a meandering journey through a particular part of the American experience set in a community with a mix of Jewish and African-American residents. Call 707-923-3911 to join the conversation. That’s the KMUD Book Club tonight between 7 and 8 pm only on Redwood Community Radio, K-M-U-D.
