SUMMARY:The Cliff Dwellers Book Club - Broken Bottles
DESCRIPTION:Meet author Anthony Koranda and his wife at today’s get-together!\nThe Cliff Dwellers Book Club will gather in the Sullivan Room on Saturday\, September 12\, at 11:00 a.m. to discuss Broken Bottles\, by Anthony Koranda. \nAfter growing up with an alcoholic mother and an intermittent stepfather\, Alex longs for connection\, even as he sabotages his life with substances\, and substitutes one failed relationship for the next.

Let the staff know when you contact us!\n \nreservations@cliff-chicago.org\, or 312-922-8080
