Here's what we're reading this month All the Children Are Home by Patry Francis
Set in the late 1950s through 1960s in a small town in Massachusetts, All the Children Are Home follows the Moscatelli family—Dahlia and Louie, foster parents, and their long-term foster children Jimmy, Zaidie, and Jon—and the irrevocable changes in their lives when a six-year-old indigenous girl, Agnes, comes to live with them.
If you need an accessibility accommodation during this program, please register early so we can confirm arrangements a few days before your visit.
