Friday, October 26 at 7pm the T”UU”rning Leaves Book Club will meet at the church to discuss the October selection Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. This is a classic work of young adult historical fiction.

The novel tells the story of Katherine “Kit” Tyler, a young orphan who, in 1687, travels from the tropical island of
Barbados to the stark Puritan colony of Connecticut. With her flashy clothes and aristocratic roots, Kit doesn’t fit
in with the piety or plainness of her new extended family. Feeling out of place, Kit befriends another outsider,
the Quaker Hannah Tupper. When a fever strikes the children of Wethersfield, the residents accuse Hannah of
bringing the plague upon the town. Kit too faces accusations of witchcraft, simply for befriending the woman no
one else would touch.
Young adults in the congregation are invited to participate and share their ideas. Contact Betty Gilson for more
information.
