April's Book of the Month is
Martha Southgate's
A Taste of Salt
Book synopsis: Award-winning novelist Martha Southgate tells the story of a family pushed to its limits by addiction over the
course of two generations. Josie Henderson loves the water and is fulfilled by her position as the only senior-level black scientist at
the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. In building this impressive life for herself, she has tried to shed the one thing she cannot:
her family back in landlocked Cleveland. Her adored brother, Tick, was her childhood ally as they watched their drinking father push
away all the love that his wife and children were trying to give him. Now Tick himself has been coming apart and demands to be heard.
Weaving four voices into a beautiful tapestry, Southgate charts the lives of the Henderson's from the parents' first charmed meeting to
Josie's realization that the ways of the human heart are more complex than anything seen under a microscope.
