"The Berry Pickers" by Amanda Peters

A four-year-old girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a tragic mystery that will remain unsolved for nearly fifty years. July 1962. A Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family's youngest child, vanishes mysteriously. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother. In Boston, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. As she grows older, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren't telling her.

Join us every month or just for the meetings you prefer. If you miss a meeting, you can also join us at a different time or location.
