reading The Look of Love, by Sarah Jio. Jane Williams is gifted with the ability to see true love. On her twenty-ninth birthday, she receives a strange greeting card, warning her that she must identify the “Six Types of Love” before the full moon following her thirtieth birthday. When Jane falls for one who doesn’t believe in love, she fears that the dire warnings against failure to complete the list will come to pass.

Local author makes a special guest appearance @ The Book Club, Sunday March 8 at 2 pm
Poplar Bluff author Letty Lakusiewicz visits The Book
Club at the Poplar Bluff Municipal Library on March 8
at 2 pm. “Letty’s Story : Hell to Heaven” is the author’s
true story — writing of herself as a poverty-stricken
child, unwanted by her mother and father, coping from
the age of 5 with the Japanese occupation of the Phillipines during WWII. Grown up
and running for her life from an abusive husband, she came to the United States with
only $5 in her pocket. “Letty’s Story” reveals how this Poplar Bluff author triumphed over
her difficult past, finding success, happiness, and love at last.
