April BOOK CLUB: Tuesday, April 23rd 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. (Central Time) The HLAA-TC Book Club will be meeting on Zoom to discuss a nonfiction book.

After first choosing a different book (that unfortunately is now out of print), we have decided to read a different nonfiction book. April’s nonfiction selection is:

“My Maggie” by Richard King BARD/NLS: Yes, both Braille: BR 1772 BARD: DB 66445

Amazon Summary: “My Maggie is a rare and real love story. Rich and Maggie King were two people who never gave up on each other a testament to a love few have the will to attain. She was his childhood sweetheart and wife of thirty two years. Diagnosed with hearing loss at the age of four, she wore cumbersome hearing aids and felt the humiliation of being different. Slowly, an insidious disease robbed her of vision. She fought three different cancers, changed careers in the middle of her life and fought to realize her dreams. Yet, underneath these great challenges, there was an incredible love shared by two people. It was cemented by adversity and reached a near perfect spiritual connection. They lived a classic old fashioned love story.”
