Community Reads Discussion Part 1 @ Luckey Branch Library

Join our 2023 Community Reads Program, featuring: A Place Called Home: a memoir by David Ambroz.

A Place Called Home tells David Ambroz's story of growing up homeless and in the foster care system. His narrative details an experience that is familiar to so many young people who have been systematically overlooked and unprotected. A Place Called Home, which was Zibby Owens 2022 Book of the Year, is a survival story, opening the readers eyes to the nation's broken foster care system.
