Join the Storyteller Book Club for our next meeting where we’ll be discussing The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride!

“In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.”

Completed reading is not required and light refreshments will be served. The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store is available from the Tenement Museum store (now 15% off with your member code). All merchandise can be ordered online and picked up in-store.

To RSVP, please email Emma Glennon at [email protected].

The Storyteller’s Society is a special membership group of young professionals who support and celebrate the mission of the Tenement Museum.
