The Saint Mary’s Chicago East book club met on April 24th to discuss The Girl with Seven Names: Escape from North Korea by Hyeonseo Lee. Thank you to Geneviève (class of ‘98) for hosting us in her home! Everyone enjoyed the book and found it so educational, so our conversation was great.

If you weren’t able to read the book, check our Hyeonseo’s TED talk (12 minutes) for a great overview of her journey. Her TED talk has been viewed over 20 million times.

Join us in reading our May book, The Heaven and Earth Book Store by James McBride. We will be meeting at an alumna’s house on May 16th. Please contact us if you would like to attend!
