Book Group
The Baldwin Street Book Group gets together the fourth Tuesday of each month for a casual discussion about a book we have all read. Every group member is encouraged to take a turn in making a book selection. Consequently we have read books with a variety of themes, genres and settings.
New members are welcome. Call Phyllis at 616-457-0453 for dates and places.

Ivan Doig
Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig’s beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an eleven-year-old’s imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin. There Donal is in for a rude surprise. A classic Doigian ensemble of characters and having rollicking misadventures along the way.
