June Title: Black Hamptons/Carl Weber with LaJill Hunt

Join us In-Person or On-ZOOM for the discussion of Another GREAT SUMMER READ. This novel is about " The Hamptons". The other exclusive African American  vacation spot. 

Book Overview:
"Hidden away near the end of Long Island, New York, is a community where affluent African Americans, their friends, and the wannabes have secretly vacationed for more than 75 years. Unlike the bluffs of Martha’s Vineyard, black folks here own five miles of prime beachfront. With a mix of legacy families, new money, hangers-on, and thirsty developers, drama can never be far behind "

This book comes in many formats. Regular print, Playaway(audio), eBook and eAudio
