The book we will be discussing is Children’s Blizzard by David Laskin. It is an excellent book about the 1888 blizzard that covered America’s heartland. The immigrants from Europe were promised free land, freedom and hope, but the real story showed no mercy. This time period was during the infancy of weather predictions and weather equipment.

Daisy Werthan, an elderly Jewish widow living in Atlanta, is determined to maintain her independence. However, when she crashes her car, her son, Boolie, arranges for her to have a chauffeur, an African-American driver named Hoke Colburn. Daisy and Hoke’s relationship gets off to a rocky start, but they gradually form a close friendship over the years, one that transcends racial prejudices and social conventions. —Jwelch5742
