My Friends by beloved author Fredrik Backman is a new work of fiction about 4 teenagers on a pier. One day, one of the boys will paint a picture of them on this pier that will be called "The One of the Sea", and it will hang in a museum, but the majority of the story is about their lives at that particular bittersweet time. Loneliness, loss, and physical and emotional abuse are all central themes, which is why their hardscrabble gang holds so close to one another, laughing and fitting into each other`s lives like missing pieces in the puzzle of Home. Children and adults can parent and nurture one another through life at any stage, and we see that back and forth happening as well in a parallel story experienced by a young homeless foster child who collides in the present day with one of the teenagers now grown up. Her chaos melts some of his adult anguish, and an unexpected friendship forms. Backman is known for drawing upon such themes, creating characters whose lives intersect so that life becomes more bearable, more joyful, and more hopeful amid dark days, garnering him a huge following of loyal readers internationally. Who better to write about humanity right now? It is certainly one of the most beautiful books I`ve ever read; I always say you will cry harder and laugh louder and longer while reading a Backman book than any other out there. My Friends will remind you of your oldest bonds and oldest wounds, and the force of friendship when you need it most!

✨Join us on an exploration of wildness, wilderness, darkness and light✨
As we move from inner and outer exploration to a deeper dive into wilderness and what it means to still be wild, we will be highlighting books and authors that have spent their lives witnessing wildness.
✨First up Craig Childs’ literal and figurative journey from the light to the dark✨
"The Wild Dark: Finding the Night Sky in the Age of Light"
"At a time when most people on Earth live in regions of acute light pollution, Craig Childs takes us on a journey to rediscover the awesome power of night itself.
Seeking not the absence of light, but the presence of the universe, master storyteller Craig Childs sets out to bike from the blinding lights of the Las Vegas Strip to one of the darkest spots in North America. A fearless explorer of both the natural world and the human imagination, Childs guides us on a quest to rediscover the heavens and to ask: "What does it do to us to not see the night sky?" The Wild Dark is at once an adventure story, a field guide, and a celebration of the awesome power of night itself, inviting us to look up and to look inward, eyes wide and sparkling with stars."
