Food for Thought: Perma Red

Join us for Lit Youngstown's Food for Thought book discussion, sponsored by the Raymond J. Wean Foundation.

We meet each month Sept.-May, at 5:30pm on the 2nd Thursday at Noble Creature, 126 E. Rayen. Haven't read the book yet? No worries.

The April title is Perma Red by Debra Magpie Earling. This book is available at the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, and POP! Art Books Culture via Bookshop. https://bookshop.org/

On the Flathead Indian Reservation, summer is ending, and Louise White Elk is determined to forge her own path. Raised by her Grandmother Magpie after the death of her mother, Louise and her younger sister have grown up into the harsh social and physical landscape of western Montana in the 1940s, where Native people endure boarding schools and life far from home. As she approaches adulthood, Louise hopes to create an independent life for herself and an improved future for her family—but three persistent men have other plans.
