X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The book chosen for this month's discussio
 n is<strong> Speak to Me of Home</strong> by <em>Jeanine Cummins. </em>Thi
 s multigenerational novel narrates the lives of three women in a Puerto Ri
 can-Irish family&mdash\;Rafaela\, Ruth\, and Daisy&mdash\;as they navigate
  identity\, belonging\, and the meaning of "home" across Puerto Rico and t
 he American Midwest from the 1960s to the present day.&nbsp\;The story\, i
 nspired by Cummins' own family history\, explores themes of assimilation\,
  cultural displacement\, and the complex bonds between mothers and daughte
 rs\, all set in motion by a life-altering event in 2023 that brings the fa
 mily together.&nbsp\;<em></em></p>\n<p>Copies of this book will be availab
 le at the check out desk\, while supplies last.</p>\n<p>Take a look at <sp
