Beth Luxenberg was an only child. Or so everyone thought. Six months after Beth&#8217;s death, her secret emerged. It had a name: Annie. With the discovery of his mother&#8217;s secret, Steve Luxenberg begins an investigation into her past. This book chronicles the true story of his journey that leads him from Depression-era Detroit to Holocaust-plagued Ukraine and many points between. Copies of the book are now available at the library. The book clubs will meet Thursday, January 16.
