DPL Happy Hour Book Group

The Happy Hour Book Group will meet at Pulpit Rock Brewing Co. Wed. Nov. 6 at 5:15 p.m. to discuss Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s “The American Daughters.”

Ady is a curious, sharp-witted girl enslaved alongside her mother to a businessman in New Orleans. When mother and daughter are separated, Ady is left hopeless and unmoored, until she stumbles into the Mockingbird Inn and meets Lenore, a free Black woman with whom she becomes fast friends. Lenore invites Ady to join a clandestine society of spies called The Daughters, and her journey to liberation begins.
