A Farthing’s for Your Thoughts book club is a monthly gathering hosted by Iris Ford, Ph.D. Each month the book club is invited to read a book of their choosing, then join Iris for a lively discussion that offers analysis and deepens understanding of the book and each other. The book club selections range from fiction to non-fiction, classics to new releases, reflecting the diverse reading habits of the group. This month, join the conversation around local author Merideth Taylor’s book, Making a Way Out of No Way.

Listen in and join the conversation around local author Merideth Taylor’s book, Making a Way Out of No Way.

From the publisher: Making a Way Out of No Way is “A richly imagined, photo-illustrated narrative of 150 years of life in slavery on tobacco plantations in Southern Maryland

For over 165 years, plantation owners in Southern Maryland depended on the labor of enslaved men, women, and children to bring in the tobacco crop. The photographs and stories in this book grew out of the author’s quest to understand how these people, who were subjected to a system that made every attempt to brutalize and dehumanize them, were able not only to survive but to build families and meaningful lives.”

The book club is free and open to the public
