X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>With the threat of Mussolini's army loomin
 g\, recently orphaned Hirut struggles to adapt to her new life as a maid. 
 Her new employer\, Kidane\, an officer in Emperor Haile Selassie's army\, 
 rushes to mobilize his strongest men before the Italians invade. Hirut and
  the other women long to do more than care for the wounded and bury the de
 ad. When Emperor Haile Selassie goes into exile and Ethiopia quickly loses
  hope\, it is Hirut who offers a plan to maintain morale. She helps disgui
 se a gentle peasant as the emperor and soon becomes his guard\, inspiring 
 other women to take up arms. But how could she have predicted her own pers
 onal war\, still to come\, as a prisoner of one of Italy's most vicious of
 ficers?</p>\n<p>The Diversity Book Club is hosted monthly by AAUW Alexandr
 ia / Women Building Cross-Cultural Friendships (WBCCF) and co-sponsored by
  the Alexandria Burke Branch Library.</p>\n<p>WBCCF's goal is to give wome
 n the opportunity in a diverse and inclusive group to enrich their own liv
 es through these relationships and help amplify the voices of all women in
  our community. WBCCF&nbsp\;believes that the opportunity to come together
  to explore issues of race\, religion\, ethnicity\, etc. through well-chos
 en books will not only further our individual learning but also create a s
 etting in which we might ultimately decide on a community undertaking with
  wider implications.</p>\n<p>The Diversity Book Club meets on the second M
 onday of each month at 7 PM. Please note that the group will meet on the f
 irst Monday of this month.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This program will take place by 
 Zoom and registration is required. After registering with Bonnie Hershberg
