October 2018
Madera Reads October book selection is the powerful memoir, "Men We Reaped" by Jesmyn Ward.
Come read with Madera Reads.
“In real life, I looked at my father and mother and
understood dimly that it was harder to be a girl, that boys had it easier.
Here, boys could buy and ride motorcycles and come and leave when they wanted
to and exude a kind of cool while they stood shirtless at the edge of the
street, talking and laughing with one another, passing a beer around, smoking
cigarettes. Meanwhile, the women I knew were working even when they weren’t at
work: cooking, washing loads of clothes, hanging them to dry, and cleaning the
house. There was no time for them to just relax and be.” ―
