Hello book lovers and fellow readers! Join us (and Jono!) for our next book club meeting on Sunday, September 22 at 1 PM PDT / 4 PM EDT. We will be reading Not All Heroes Wear Capes, by Jono Lancaster. We are VERY excited that Jono is able to join us on the call from his home in the UK.

This is an inspiring and incredible story of how one young man found happiness by embracing his differences. Jono was the keynote speaker at the 2018 Moebius Syndrome Foundation Conference, and he is a fantastic speaker and writer!

Jono writes, “Finding self-acceptance hasn’t always been easy. I was abandoned at birth with a facial difference, and as I got older, I began to hate my face and the world I lived in. Gradually, through trial and error, random moments with strangers, and some tragic haircuts, I’ve found self-love and happiness. This book is the story of how I found my way out of difficult times, and how you can do the same.”

Jono Lancaster was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome – a condition that affects facial appearance – and at only two weeks old, he found himself in foster care. In his remarkable story, Jono shares the highs and lows of his journey and how he turned his differences into his greatest strengths. Inspirational, empowering and moving – this is an extraordinary memoir with a powerful message: you are strong enough to become your own hero. (Cape optional.)

You can order Not All Heroes Wear Capes in hardback, Audiobook, or Kindle, or check your local library or Overdrive app to see if it is available to borrow for free.

Registration is required by Saturday, September 21: https://bit.ly/3JPSx2P
