Thursday, April 1 - 6 p.m. The Soloist by Steve Lopez
    
When Steve Lopez saw Nathaniel Ayers playing his heart out on a two-string violin on Los Angeles' skid row, he found it impossible to walk away.  More than thirty years earlier, Ayers had been a promising classical bass student at Juilliard - ambitious, charming, and one of the few African-Americans - until he gradually lost his ability to function, overcome by schizophrenia.  When Lopez finds him, Ayers is homeless, paranoid, and deeply troubled, but glimmers of that brilliance are still there.  Over time, Steve Lopez and Nathaniel Ayers form a bond, and Lopez imagines that he might be able to change Ayers's life.  For each triumph, there is a crashing disappointment, yet neither man gives up.  In the process of trying to save Ayers, Lopez finds that his own life is changing, and his sense of what one man can accomplish in the lives of others begins to expand in new ways. 

Thursday, May 6 - 6 p.m.The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
    
January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she has never met, a native of the island of Guernsey.  As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - born as an alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island - boasts a charming, funny cast of characters.  Juliet begins a correspondence with the society's members, learning about their island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives.

At age 21, when Nell learns the truth about herself, she travels to Cornwell, England to learn the secrets of her past.
