January, 2020 at The Armed Forces Retirement Home,
Washington, D.C. has given our weekly book club the opportunity to discuss two
extraordinary books-"All The Light We Cannot See," by Anthony Doerr
and "Leadership In Turbulent Times," by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
Pulitzer Prize winner, "All The Light We Cannot
See," is a captivating book...the writing is incredible, and the
descriptions so vivid. The author,
Anthony Doerr, beautifully wove together the loving relationships and the way
the characters touched each other's lives during the tumultuous times of
WWII. Glenna's Book Club had much to
discuss about this exceptional read!
"Leadership In Turbulent Times," a Pulitzer Prize
Winner written by Doris Kearns Goodwin, takes its readers through the lives of
the four presidents she has studied most closely-Abraham Lincoln, Theodore
Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson, to show how they
recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as
leaders by others. This present read
has captivated our book club right from the start.
Glenna's Book Club at AFRH is off and running with inspiring
and intriguing reads and lively discussions.
We are looking forward to a year of reading many wonderful books!
Most grateful,
Glenna
