ABOUT THE EVENT
The Phoenix Book Club, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet virtually on Monday, March 8 at 7:00 PM. The group will discuss Last Bus to Wisdom by Ivan Doig. The final book in Ivan Doig’s career as a great western writer begins with a journey east. 11-year old Donal Cameron, orphaned, must leave Montana and his beloved Gram before she undergoes surgery. Donal rides a Greyhound bus to Wisconsin, experiencing a memorable trip. He arrives to live with his Aunt Kate but all does not go well. Threatened with an orphanage, Donal boards another Greyhound but gains a companion—his aunt’s beleaguered husband. Heading west, they encounter their own adventures. Remember autograph books? Donal’s fills up along the way, and each signature adds a little more wisdom.
