This month, we're reading Anger Is Only a Shadow by acclaimed Dominican-American author Elizabeth Acevedo.

Together, we'll explore the complexities of anger, identity, family, belonging, and the emotions we often struggle to put into words. Through thoughtful discussion, we'll reflect on how literature gives us space to examine our feelings, challenge our perspectives, and better understand ourselves and one another.
