There’s something special about reading a book that makes you pause and think, I wonder what shaped this person? I wonder what shaped me?
This quarter, the Resilient Chattahoochee Valley Book Club is exploring stories of trauma, love, identity, and healing, and the complicated ways our past can shape who we become. These conversations are at the heart of Resilient Chattahoochee Valley: understanding how experiences shape us, creating space for healing, and building stronger connections and support systems for children, families, and our community.
Here's what we're reading:
đź“– What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma by Stephanie Foo

❤️ All About Love by bell hooks
A thoughtful exploration of love as something we practice, not simply something we feel. hooks asks us to think differently about care, connection, trust, and what it means to build healthier relationships. How might our communities change if we treated love as an action?
🌿 She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
