Looking for a fun way to enjoy books and meet new people? Join us in the Better Than Therapy Book Club which meets on the last Wednesday of every month at 2 p.m. in our Boardroom.

At the center of the story is a family separated by a nationalistic movement that feels chilling in how it might just happen today. A mom mysteriously disappears—and her young son learns why on a courageous quest to find her, aided by everyday heroes in unexpected places. This thought-provoking story serves as a warning, a dystopian fairy tale, and a suspenseful thriller with moments of hope mixed in to buoy you as you read.
