How This Works
- We’re reading a chapeter each week and posting a video on Locals with our thoughts and comments.
- To get the videos and join in the conversation, use the code Lilies22 for a free month supporter access to our Supporters Group.
- When the book is finished we will watch the movie Lilies of the Field starring Sidney Poitier and share a live discussion via Zoom to talk about the book, the great things about it, and how well the movie shared the story.
