Book Group at Pleasant Grove Public Library will meet on Thursday, Jan. 14, at 10:30 a.m. The featured book will be A River Runs Through It by Norman MacLean. It will be presented by Howard Carpenter. A River Runs Through It is the wonderful story that tells of a family in early 20th century Montana. Norman MacLean paints an evocative portrait of the sons of a small town minister, two brothers headed in very different directions. Fly fishing for trout is one thing that unites father and sons and, in the end, it is the language of the river that provides understanding and acceptance in the most difficult of times. From its first sentence to the last, this book captivates readers with its vivid images of the Blackfoot River and its uncanny blending of fly fishing with the affections of the heart. The author shows us a time and way of life mostly vanished and translates a sense of beauty, love and artistry in rugged settings and situations. If you enjoyed the movie, you will truly love the book. Howard Carpenter is a lifelong resident of Pleasant Grove. He and his wife, Dixie, have four children and 10 grandchildren.
