The Grand County Library's book club meets the second Wednesday of every month and everyone is invited. This month's book selection is "Reading Rabbit Proff Fence" by Doris Pilkington.
"Rabbit-Proof Fence: The True Story of One of the Greatest Escapes of All Time" is the remarkable true story of three young girls who cross the harsh Australian desert on foot to return to their home. Following an Australian government edict in 1931, black aboriginal children and children of mixed marriages were gathered up by whites and taken to settlements to be assimilated. In Rabbit-Proof Fence, award-winning author Doris Pilkington traces the captivating story of her mother, Molly, one of three young girls uprooted from her community in Southwestern Australia and taken to the Moore River Native Settlement.
