DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be Sunday\, January 23 at 12:30pm in the comfort of your own home via Zoom! \nWe will be discussing Ramona Ausubel’s No One Is Here Except All of US \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/83752837541?pwd=ay9rcGdWdHZ0U1lleXRxQmI1YXJmUT09  \nMeeting ID: 837 5283 7541 \nPassword: 1955 \nSYNOPSIS\n\nAn isolated village tries to save itself from a war through sheer force of imagination—all at the suggestion of a girl. \nIn 1939\, the families in a remote Jewish village in Romania feel the war close in on them. Their tribe has moved and escaped for thousands of years—across oceans\, deserts\, and mountains—but now\, it seems\, there is nowhere else to go. Danger is imminent in every direction\, yet the territory of imagination and belief is limitless. At the suggestion of an eleven-year-old girl and a mysterious stranger who has washed up on the riverbank\, the villagers decide to reinvent the world: deny any relationship with the known\, and start over from scratch. Destiny is unwritten. Time and history are forgotten. Jobs\, husbands\, a child\, are reassigned. And for years\, there is boundless hope. But the real world continues to unfold alongside the imagined one\, eventually overtaking it\, and soon our narrator—the girl\, grown into a young mother—must flee her village\, move from one world to the next\, to find her husband and save her children\, and propel them toward a real and hopeful future. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nRamona Ausubel grew up in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.
