History by the Book Club

Run Me To Earth by Paul Yoon

History by the Book meets to discuss historical fiction and non-fiction books. We explore the deeper stories behind historical events and periods in the past.

This month we will read: Run Me to Earth By Paul Yoon

In 1960s Laos, three orphans—Alisak, Prany, and Noi—struggle to survive in a landscape ravaged by war. Taking shelter in a ruined hospital, they meet Vang, a dedicated doctor who enlists them as motorcycle couriers, navigating fields of unexploded bombs to deliver supplies and rescue civilians. When Vang secures their evacuation on the last helicopters leaving the country, their lives are irrevocably altered, setting them on separate, perilous paths across the world.

Books will be ready for pick-up on Thursday, January 16th.
