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.
Kristin Harmel’s When We Meet Again blends mystery, romance, and forgotten history. Emily Emerson is a journalist who, after losing her job, receives an anonymous painting of her grandmother with a cryptic note about an enduring love. As she investigates, Emily uncovers the hidden history of German POWs in 1940s Florida, who worked on American farms and sometimes formed forbidden relationships. Her journey takes her from the Everglades to Munich, revealing long-buried family secrets and a love story lost to time. Through her discoveries, Emily gains a deeper understanding of her past and the resilience of love across generations.
Books will be ready for pick-up on Thursday, March 20th.
