Join us for a discussion of Matriarch by Tina Knowles.

Matriarch is available for check out at the Marilyn J. Praisner Library and on Libby as an ebook and audiobook.

Summary:

Here is a page-turning chronicle of family love and heartbreak, loss and perseverance, and the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a girl from Galveston to change the world. Matriarch is one brilliant woman’s intimate and revealing story, and a multigenerational family saga that carries within it the story of America—and the wisdom that women pass on to each other, mothers to daughters, across generations.
