Join us to discuss our summer reading selection, The Personal History of Rachel DuPree by Ann Weisgarber. Weisgarber’s debut novel tells the story of Rachel DuPree, who is hired in a Chicago boardinghouse and falls in love with Issac, the boardinghouse owner’s son. Issac offers to marry her as long as she gives him her 160 acres from the Homestead Act so he can double his share. Upon his offer, Rachel agrees and together they stake their claim in the forebodingly beautiful South Dakota Badlands.
