May 19th - Too Close to the Falls by Katherine Gildiner

In the first installment of her acclaimed memoir trilogy, Katherine Gildiner invites readers on a spirited journey through her unconventional childhood near Niagara Falls. Born in 1948, Gildiner grew up in the vibrant, yet innocent era of the baby boomers. With humor and heart, she recounts her rebellious escapades in her small-town community and Catholic school, sharing stories that are both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply poignant. If you fall in love with this captivating debut, take comfort—there are two more volumes in the series to keep on your nightstand for your reading pleasure.
