September - On Wings of Eagles

Thanks to Lisa C for hosting the book club for August and to Tori for providing the yummy homemade ice cream! We had a great discussion about Island of the Blue Dolphins! Thanks for recommending the book, Kristi.


We are in need of a host for next month's book club. It will be held on September 7th and we will be reading On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett. 


Description:
"Ken Follett tells the true story of the Middle East hostage crisis that began in 1978 and of the unconventional means one American used to save his countrymen." When two of his employees were held hostage in a heavily guarded prison fortress in Iran, one man took matters into his own hands: businessman H. Ross Perot. His team consisted of a group of volunteers from the executive ranks of his corporation, handpicked and trained by a retired Green Beret officer. To free the imprisoned Americans, they would face incalculable odds on a mission that only true heroes would have dared."
