NEW BOOKS: “The Mighty Red” by Lousie Erdrich, “In Too Deep” by Lee Child, “Robert B. Parker’s Hot Property” by Mike Lupica, and “Get What’s Yours for Medicare: Maximize Your Coverage, Minimize Your Costs” (Dewey 368) by Phillip Moeller.
BOOK BLURB: “The Mighty Red” by Lousie Erdrich, released October 2024. The Mighty Red is a novel of tender humor, disturbance, and hallucinatory mourning. It is about on-the-job pains and immeasurable satisfactions, a turbulent landscape, and eating the native weeds growing in your backyard. It is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets, men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. It is about a starkly beautiful prairie community whose members must cope with devastating consequences as powerful forces upend them. As with every book this great modern master writes, “The Mighty Red” is about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendor.
The library is located at 301 E. 10th St., across from Mutz Ballpark. Library staff may be reached at ferrislibrary@ferristexas.gov or (972) 544-2110, Option 9.
