We invite you to join our Reconciliation Reading Circles where we will explore Indigenous literature, both fiction and non-fiction, to broaden our understanding of reconciliation.

For this event:
- Copies of the book will be made available to participants so that you may read the book in advance.
- Come with an open mind and a respectful heart.
- Refreshments will be served.
About the Book:
A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store’s most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls’ Day, but she simply won’t leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading with murderous attention, must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation, and furious reckoning.
