EVENTS
Book Club: “I Am, I Am, I Am” by Maggie O’Farrell
“I Am, I Am, I Am” by Maggie O’Farrell is a memoir of seventeen stories about times when the author nearly died. Instead of telling her life story in order, the book jumps between different moments from childhood to adulthood. Through these experiences, O’Farrell reflects on how fragile life can be and how close people can come to death.
Rather than focusing on death itself, it highlights survival and encourages appreciation for being alive.

Book club: We Did Ok, Kid by Anthony Hopkins
We Did OK, Kid feels like sitting down with Anthony Hopkins while he quietly tells you his life story.
He shares where he came from, the struggles he faced growing up and how he found his way through doubt, loneliness, and addiction. It’s honest, sometimes a bit raw, but also warm and reflective.
More than a story about fame, it’s about figuring yourself out and learning to be at peace with who you are.

This updated edition also addresses the unprecedented parenting challenges posed by the rise of digital devices and social media.
