This year’s fiction selection for Yarmouth Reads 2019 is a story of turn-of-the-twentieth-century Boston when young boys grew up too fast and sometimes needed shelter from the law and from society. At this year’s kick-off event, meet the author, Connie Hertzberg Mayo, and get some questions answered. Hear about the many programs planned throughout April, May and June. Books are available on loan from the Library – and will be for sale at a discounted price. See you at the Kick-off!
