A New Oprah Book Selection

"Say You're One of Them" by Uwem Akpan is Oprah's new book club selection, her first in about a year. Oprah says "this is an awe-inspiring collection of stories that challenges you to look beyond the headlines and see an Africa full of both joy and despair. Detailing the violence and poverty facing the children of modern-day Africa, this is a book you won't soon forget."
Visit Oprah's webpage for more about this book and others she has chosen. We love Oprah for encouraging reading and an appreciation of diversity.
