SUMMARY:Lunch and Book Discussion: "The Little Liar"
DESCRIPTION:Dear Chai Society and Sinai Temple Members\, \nYou are invited to join us for a delicious lunch and engaging conversation as we discuss the power of hope and redemption in the new\, bestselling novel by Mitch Albom\, The Little Liar.  \nWarmly\, Carolyn Hoffman\, Judy Begin\, and Abby Friedman \n\nThursday: September 5\n10:30am – 12:30pm\nCost: $10 Sinai Temple members; $15 Non-members\n\nBeloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with a powerful novel of hope and forgiveness that moves from a coastal Greek city during WWII to America in the golden age of Hollywood\, as the intertwined lives of three young survivors are forever changed by the perils of deception and the grace of redemption. \nEleven-year-old Nico Krispis has never told a lie. His schoolmate\, Fannie\, loves him because of it. Nico’s older brother Sebastian resents him for both these facts. When their young lives are torn apart during the war\, it will take them decades to find each other again. \nNico’s innocence and goodness is used against his tightly knit community when a German officer barters Nico’s reputation for honesty into a promise to save his loved ones. When Nico realizes the consequences of the betrayal\, he can never tell the truth again. He will spend the rest of this life changing names\, changing locations and identities\, desperate to find a way to forgiveness—for himself and from the people he loves most. \nAlbom’s extraordinary storytelling is at its powerful best in his first novel to confront the destruction that lying can wreak both on the world stage as well as on the individual lives that get caught up in it. As The Stranger in the Lifeboat spoke to belief\, The Little Liar speaks to hope\, in a breathless page-turner that will break your heart open and fill it with the power of the human spirit and the goodness that lies within us all. \nNarrated by the voice of Truth itself\, The Little Liar is a timeless story about the power of love to ultimately redeem us\, no matter how deeply we blame ourselves for our mistakes. \nRegister here (required for entry). \nBuy the book on Amazon (please read the book prior to attendance).
