Join us via Zoom for a discussion of "How Not to Drown in a Glass of Water" by Angie Cruz.
Book Summary: Cara Romero thought she would work at the factory of little lamps for the rest of her life. But when she loses her job in her mid-50s during the Great Recession, she is forced back into the job market for the first time in decades. Set up with a job counselor, Cara instead begins to narrate the story of her life. Over the course of twelve sessions, Cara recounts her tempestuous love affairs, her alternately biting and loving relationships with her neighbor Lulu and her sister Angela, her debt struggles, gentrification and loss, and, what really happened between her and her estranged son, Fernando. As Cara confronts her darkest secrets and regrets, we see a woman buffeted by life but still full of fight.
Limited copies of the title are available 30 days prior to the discussion.
