"Reading together is a transformative experience that transcends age, relationships, and backgrounds. It strengthens

bonds, cultivates a love for books, nurtures language and cognitive skills, and fosters empathy and

understanding. Embrace the power of reading together, and unlock the incredible benefits it brings to your life and

those you share it with." ~ Lara Nelson

Book List - Non-Fiction

Doris Kearns Goodwin, Leadership: In Turbulent Times

The renowned presidential scholar’s newest work draws from Goodwin’s in-depth studies of Presidents Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Johnson, providing an illuminating exploration of the age old question: What does it take to be an effective leader? Goodwin has won the Pulitzer Prize, the Carnegie Medal, the Lincoln Prize and is a New York Times #1 bestselling author. Watch Goodwin’s interview from the 2018 National Book Festival.

Jon Meacham, The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels

Meacham’s new book goes back to critical times in our nation’s history when hope overcame division and fear. The historian and presidential scholar shows that our current climate of partisan fury is not new, and what Abraham Lincoln called the “better angels of our nature” have repeatedly won the day. Watch Meacham’s interview from the 2018 National Book Festival.
