 omen<br />Women have always shown strength in shaping their lives and the 
 world around them. In this book discussion group we read and talk about fi
 ction and nonfiction that highlights the courage\, resilience and experien
 ces of women past and present.</p>\n<p>This month's book is&nbsp\;<em>Wher
 e They Last Saw Her</em> by Marcie Rendon<br />All they heard was her scre
 am. Quill has lived on the Red Pine reservation in Minnesota her whole lif
 e. She knows what happens to people who look like her. Just a girl when Ji
 mmy Sky jumped off the railway bridge and she ran for help\, Quill realize
 s now that she hasn't ever stopped running. As she trains for the Boston M
 arathon early one morning out in the woods\, she hears a scream. When she 
 investigates\, she finds tire tracks and a lone\, beaded earring. Things a
 re different now for Quill than when she was a lonely girl. Her friends Pu
 nk and Gaylyn are two women who don't know what it means to quit\; she has
  her loving husband\, Crow\, and two beautiful children who challenge her 
 to be better every day. So when she realizes another woman has been stolen
 \, she is determined to do something-and her first stop is the group of me
 n working the pipeline construction just north of their homes. As Quill cl
 oses in on the truth behind the missing woman in the woods\, someone else 
 disappears. In her quest to find justice for the women of the reservation\
 , she is confronted with the hard truths of their home and the people who 
 purport to serve them. When will she stop losing neighbors\, friends\, fam
 ily? As Quill puts herself\, her family\, and everything she's built on th
 e line to make a difference\, the novel asks searing questions about bysta
 nder culture\, the reverberations of even one act of crime\, and the long-
 lasting trauma of being invisible.</p>\n<p>Email&nbsp\;dellerbrook@tscpl.o
