Book Discussion Group - Monkey Girl

This month we are reading Monkey Girl by local pulitzer-prize winning author Edward Humes. 

Monkey Girl is a dramatic story of faith, science, and courage unlike any since the famous Scopes Monkey Trial. The book takes you behind the scenes of the recent war on evolution in Dover, Pennsylvania, when the town's school board decision to confront the controversy head-on thrust its students, then the entire community, onto the front lines of America's culture wars. Told from the perspectives of all sides of the battle, it is a riveting true story about an epic court case on the teaching of "intelligent design," and what happens when science and religion collide.

Come to our book discussion!  We welcome new members each month.  Join us for an interesting evening.
