X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The 2020 book is &ldquo\;The Island of Sea
  Women&rdquo\; by New York Times bestselling author Lisa See. The book chr
 onicles the lives and friendship between Young-sook and Mi-ja\, two girls 
 living on the Korean island of Jeju. They become the closest of friends. H
 owever\, their differences are impossible to ignore: Young-sook was born i
 nto a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother&rsquo\;s position o
 f leading the divers\; whereas Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collabo
 rator and will forever carry that mark. From the Japanese occupation of th
 e 1930s and 1940s\, World War II\, to the Korean War\, events will push th
 eir seemingly unbreakable bond to its breaking point. This beautifully wri
 tten and thoughtful novel shines a light on the remarkable haenyeo culture
  and two women who are a part of it. Author Lisa See launches her Maryland
  virtual book tour in conversation with PGCMLS CEO Roberta Phillips on Oct
 ober 4 at 7 pm.</p>\n<p>The event is co-presented with the Prince George&r
 squo\;s Community College Library\, PGCMLS Foundation\, and Prince George&
 rsquo\;s County Human Relations Commission. One Maryland One Book is a pro
 gram of Maryland Humanities.</p>\n<p>Borrow the book from PGCMLS: <a href=
