 a hybrid program &ndash\; attendees are welcome to join virtually via Zoom
  or in-person in the Meeting Room at the Warren Township Library branch.</
 p>\n<p>"A discarded painting in a junk pile\, a skeleton in an attic\, and
  the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands\, a Pulitz
 er Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit\, obsession\, and injust
 ice across American history Kentucky\, 1850. Jarrett\, an enslaved groom\,
  and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to
  record-setting victories across the South. As the nation erupts in civil 
 war\, an itinerant young artist who has made his name painting the racehor
 se takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night\, he reunites with the
  stallion and his groom\, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New Y
 ork City\, 1954. Martha Jackson\, a gallery owner celebrated for taking ri
 sks on edgy contemporary painters\, becomes obsessed with a 19th equestria
 n oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington\, DC\, 2019. Jess\, a 
 Smithsonian scientist from Australia\, and Theo\, a Nigerian-American art 
 historian\, find themselves unexpectedly drawn to one another through thei
 r shared interest in the horse - one studying the stallion's bones for clu
 es to his power and endurance\, the other uncovering the lost history of t
 he unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on
  the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred\, Lexington
 \, who became America's greatest stud sire\, Horse is a gripping\, multi-l
 ayered reckoning with the legacy of enslavement and racism in America" --
