X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p style="text-align: center\;"><strong>Free 
 and open to all.</strong></p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><strong>Rea
 d the book and chat with us!</strong></p>\n<p>Cora is a slave on a cotton 
 plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans\, she is 
 on the cusp of womanhood&mdash\;where greater pain awaits. And so when Cae
 sar\, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia\, urges her to join h
 im on the Underground Railroad\, she seizes the opportunity and escapes wi
 th him.</p>\n<p>In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception\, the Undergrou
 nd Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret
  network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora emba
 rks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next\, encountering\, like
  Gulliver\, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop.
 </p>\n<p>As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum
  era\, he weaves in the saga of our nation\, from the brutal abduction of 
 Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. <em>The Undergrou
 nd Railroad</em> is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape t
 he horrors of bondage&mdash\;and a powerful meditation on the history we a
 ll share.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>ATL Reads Book Club welcomes all who enjoy read
 ing a variety of genres. We are a &ldquo\;no commitment&rdquo\; book club&
