Fou nded by millionaire Anne Morgan\, this group of international women help r ebuild destroyed French communities just miles from the front. Upon arriva l\, Jessie strives to establish something that the French have never seen —children’s libraries. She turns ambulances into bookmobiles and train s the first French female librarians. Then she disappears.\n\n1987: When N YPL librarian and aspiring writer Wendy Peterson stumbles across a passing reference to Jessie Carson in the archives\, she becomes consumed with le arning her fate. In her obsessive research\, she discovers that she and th e elusive librarian have more in common than their work at New York’s fa med library\, but she has no idea their paths will converge in surprising ways across time.--Amazon\n \;\n\n\n\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
