Our next book club pick, Paper Girl: A Memoir of Home and Family in a Fractured America, by Beth Macy, will be discussed in August.
Paper Girl is a gift of courage, empathy, and insight. Beth Macy has turned to face the darkness in her family and community, people she loves wholeheartedly, even the ones she sometimes struggles to like. And in facing the truth—in person, with respect—she has found sparks of human dignity that she has used to light a signal fire of warning but also of hope.
An Instant National Bestseller • Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award • One of Barack Obama’s Favorite Books of 2025 • Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker and Vanity Fair
“There couldn’t be a timelier book . . . searingly poignant, essential . . . Macy follows closely in the footsteps of . . . Barbara Ehrenreich and Tracy Kidder, combining memoir with reportage, a raft of sobering statistics and, most uniquely in our era, a willingness to engage in uncomfortable conversations.” —The Washington Post
