[CASL-L] Faculty All School Reads

[Nancy Carlson]

I know this is probably not what you are not looking for, but
our faculty/student book club read* What Made Maddie Run
<https://www.amazon.com/What-Made-Maddy-Run-All-American/dp/0316356549> *by
Kate Fagan*. *
The subject was a difficult one, but we had great discussions and no one
wanted the time to end.
