SUMMARY:Book Club for Mortals: The Night Lake
DESCRIPTION:\nCalled “such a sad\, tough story\, but finally so 
 life-affirming\, filled with spirit and love” by Anne Lamott\, this is a 
 raw and intensely affecting memoir by a young priest about loss of a 
 child\, its grief and its aftermath\, and the hard-won joy that can 
 follow.\n\nLiz Tichenor has taken her newborn son\, five weeks old\, to the 
 doctor\, from a cabin on the shores of Lake Tahoe. She is sent home to her 
 husband and two-year-old daughter with the baby\, who is pronounced 
 “fine” by an urgent care physician. Six hours later\, the baby dies in 
 their bed. Less than a year and a half before\, Tichenor’s mother jumped 
 from a building and killed herself after a long struggle with alcoholism. 
 As a very young Episcopal priest\, Tichenor has to “preach the Good 
 News\,” to find faith where there is no hope\, but she realizes these 
 terrible parts of her own life will join her in the pulpit.\n\nThe Night 
 Lake is the story of finding a way forward through tragedies that seem like 
 they might be beyond surviving and of carving out space for the slow labor 
 of learning to live again\, in grief.\n\nSee the attached discussion guide 
 for some questions to help you reflect on the book\, as well as a link to 
 an interview with the author.\n\nAbout Book Club for Mortals at the Estes 
 Valley Library\n\n\nThis is a book club that focuses on end-of-life issues 
 and our shared mortality. We read a different book each month\, and titles 
 range from the practical to the philosophical\, and the serious to the 
 lighthearted\, both fiction and nonfiction. This is not a grief or 
 bereavement group\, but a space to have open\, honest\, thoughtful 
 conversations about interesting books and ideas. Discussions are led by 
 Mindy Rickard\, advance care planning advisor and longtime Book Club for 
 Mortals host. The book club meets on the second Thursday of each month\, 
 through December. Each meeting covers a different book.\n\nMore about this 
 program\n\nWe will make five copies of the book available for participants 
 to read and keep\, on a first-come\, first-served basis. If you would like 
 a book\, please indicate that when you register\, and we'll follow up 
 within 72 hours (likely sooner!). By registering and claiming a book\, you 
 are committing to attend the book discussion.\n\nUpdate: All of our 
 giveaway books have been claimed\, but we have plenty of copies available 
 for checkout at the first floor service desk!\n\nWe will also make copies 
 available for checkout at the first floor service desk\, and you can search 
 our collection for additional copies and formats (eBook\, audiobook\, large 
 print\, etc.).\n\nRelated programs/resources\n\n\n	Advance directive
