More Than a Book Club: Far From the Tree

Gather for book discussion and activities featuring the popular book Far From the Tree by Robin Benway

Improve your intellectual, social, and emotional wellness with The Urbana Free Library and Urbana Park District! More than a Book Club will use the popular novel Far from the Treeby Robin Benway to examine what it means to be a family—whether that means biological family, adoptive family, or chosen family. Reviewers have called the book “compassionate, funny, moving, and compulsively readable.”
