As you know, Heaven Hill has launched a virtual employee book club to help us stay connected while we’re apart. 

Each month we will announce a new book and send a copy to those who sign up. Book genres will vary each month to offer an array of titles for all areas of interest. Employees will have a few weeks to read the book before the meeting, which will take place the third Thursday of each month. During the meeting, we will discuss overall thoughts of the book, themes, character development and more.​​​​​​​ 

Participation is completely optional, and you can alternate which months you participate based on interest in the book pick. Those who sign up will receive a calendar invite for the book club meeting. The book club is open to all employees across the organization and we encourage anyone who is interested to sign up! 

Even if you are unable to make it to the club meeting, you can still request a book and join in the chat on the teams group. 

December Book Club Pick​​​​​​​

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life–until the unthinkable happens.

Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

We will host three December Book Club meetings on December 17, 2020 to accommodate various schedules: Noon – 1:00PM EST, 4:00PM – 5:00PM EST, and 6:30PM – 7:30PM EST. Contact Ashley Downs ([email protected]) to sign up. Sign ups are due by EOD today.
