Description
In 1959, Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist, takes his four young daughters, his wife, and his mission to the Belgian Congo -- a place, he is sure, where he can save needy souls. But the seeds they plant bloom in tragic ways within this complex culture. Set against one of the most dramatic political events of the twentieth century -- the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium and its devastating consequences -- here is "New York Times-bestselling author Barbara Kingslover's beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgettable epic that chronicles the disintegration of family and a nation.
Run for the Posies
Christian Huggins, AKA Spiderman, placed THIRD in his ride for Poor Richard's Books in the Second Annual Run for the Posies! The Run for the Posies is a bicycle race that takes part on Derby Day, sponsored by Folkbike Recyclery and Downtown Frankfort, Inc. This 2 minute ride is unique in that the bicycles are all 20 inch wheeled, making it somewhat difficult for the jockeys who must be at least 21 years old to ride. Our bike this year was a Spiderman bike!
