4 Seasons Winter Book Club

Please join us for the Winter 2026 edition of the 4 Seasons Book Club as we discuss Heartwood by Amity Gaige, a Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Readers' Favorite Mystery & Thriller (2025).

A search and rescue team race against time when Valerie Gillis, an experienced hiker, mysteriously disappears on the Appalachian Trail in Maine ....  Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her thoughts into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping.

As Beverly Miller, the Maine State Game Warden, leads the search on the ground, Lena, a seventy-six-year-old birdwatcher in Connecticut, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Roving between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie’s disappearance may not be accidental. (adapted from Goodreads.)

Another meeting will take place in the Tompkins Trust Study Room at 5:30 if you prefer to meet in the Library: https://www.tcpl.org/event/copy-4-seasons-winter-book-club-62001
