SUMMARY:Coalition's Reading Room\, "Cutting from Stone\," by Abraham Verges
  (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A sweeping\, emotionally riveting novel—an enthralling family
  saga of Africa and America\, doctors and patients\, exile and\nhome. Mari
 on and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between an Ind
 ian nun and a brash British\nsurgeon at a mission hospital in Addis Ababa.
 \n\nOrphaned by their mother’s death in childbirth and their father disa
 ppearance\, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fasc
 ination with medicine\, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the br
 ink of revolution. &nbsp\;Yet it will be love\, not politics -- their pass
 ion for the same woman -- that will tear them apart and force Marion\, fre
 sh out of medical school to flee to America and find refuge in his work as
  an intern at an underfunded\, overcrowded New York City hospital.\n\nWhen
  the past catches up to him\, Marion must entrust his life to the two men 
 he thought he trusted least in the world: the surgeon father who abandoned
  him and the brother who betrayed him. An unforgettable journey into one m
 an's remarkable life\, and an epic story about the power\, intimacy and cu
 rious beauty of the work of healing others.\n\nA Zoom link will be sent sh
 ortly before the December 8 discussion. Join us!\n\n[gravityform id="3" ti
