The Afternoon Book Group will be held online monthly as a Zoom event. Contact Sarah Letnes at scletnes@gmail.com to find out the book selection for each month, how to obtain the book from the Montgomery County Library's online site, and how to log onto the Zoom teleconference site for the group meeting to discuss the book.

Henry Shackleford is a young slave living in the Kansas Territory in 1857, when the region is a battleground between anti- and pro-slavery forces. When John Brown, the legendary abolitionist, arrives in the area, an argument between Brown and Henry's master quickly turns violent. Henry is forced to leave town -- with Brown, who believes he's a girl. Over the ensuing months, Henry, whom Brown nicknames Little Onion, conceals his true identity as he struggles to stay alive. Eventually Little Onion finds himself with Brown at the historic raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, one of the great catalysts for the Civil War.

 
The group will meet on the second Thursday of each month from 3:00m to 4:30pm. Zoom contact information:
