We'll discuss How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger, Love and Plenty by Bonny Reichert. Books are available at the Adult & Teen Services desk 6-weeks before each discussion.

How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger, Love, and Plenty is a memoir by journalist and chef Bonny Reichert, exploring her life as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor through the lens of food, family, and identity. The book intertwines her personal journey of self-discovery with her father's experiences of starvation and survival, using recipes and cooking as a way to connect with her heritage, process intergenerational trauma, and find her own voice as a writer and chef.
