If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin is a story told through the eyes of a nineteen-year-old girl, Tish. Tish and Fonny are in love, and Fonny is also the father of her child. Unfortunately, their love story hits a hurdle when Fonny is falsely accused and imprisoned for a terrible crime.

The genre pick for the month of October is Classic Literature. Among the books recommended, this one was listed and then selected by a random wheel. So come join us in reading and discussing this modern American classic, where " ...two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche"
