Tomorrow! Cover 2 Cover Book Club (Mannington)⁠ Pick up your copy of The Girls at 17 Swann Street by Yara Zgheib and join the Mannington Public Library for the "Cover 2 Cover" book club on Thursday, January 16 at 1:30 p.m.⁠ ⁠ "The chocolate went first, then the cheese, the fries, the ice cream. The bread was more difficult, but if she could just lose a little more weight, perhaps she would make the soloists’ list. Perhaps if she were lighter, danced better, tried harder, she would be good enough. Perhaps if she just ran for one more mile, lost just one more pound.⁠ ⁠ Anna Roux was a professional dancer who followed the man of her dreams from Paris to Missouri. There, alone with her biggest fears – imperfection, failure, loneliness – she spirals down anorexia and depression till she weighs a mere eighty-eight pounds. Forced to seek treatment, she is admitted as a patient at 17 Swann Street, a peach pink house where pale, fragile women with life-threatening eating disorders live. Women like Emm, the veteran; quiet Valerie; Julia, always hungry. Together, they must fight their diseases and face six meals a day.⁠ ⁠ Every bite causes anxiety. Every flavor induces guilt. And every step Anna takes toward recovery will require strength, endurance, and the support of the girls at 17 Swann Street." -Amazon⁠ ⁠ #bookclub #toughtopics #recovery #thegirlsat17swannstreet #YaraZgheib #manningtonwv https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WAYhulw0i/?igshid=1n4f4qxy0b6fz

Stolen Life: 5 stars. Wow. That's all I can say. Just an amazing story about how one woman made it 18 years in captivity and how she lived and what she felt and thought, and it was just amazing. I hate that the book exists only because I hate that someone would do something like what the kidnappers did to Jaycee, but to read a story like this just makes you think about your life. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but the bottom line is that you all should read this book. Freedom: 4.5 stars. I read this right after finishing Jacyee's first book. It was really amazing to read about all of these horrors she encountered and then how she has rebuilt a life after it. It really made me think about all I take for granted. Just the smallest of things would make her so excited and I would just be reading and thinking "wow, I guess I never thought how amazing that would be to someone who never saw it." It was beautiful to read about all of her experiences when for 18 years she thought they would never happen. I do have to take half a star off because the writing was a bit too childish at times. But still a great read. TIGGER WARNING: Abuse (physical, verbal, and sexual) #bookstagram #nonfiction #biographies #toughtopics #hope
