Delicate Armor – Connie Claire Szarke
Set in the Upper Midwest, 1952-1991, Delicate Armor is the formation story of Callie Lindstrom, a feisty girl who shares a special bond with her father.Having lost an infant son, Will Lindstrom places his energy in young Callie, teaching her his love for the outdoors. Accepted into the world of men within her family and witness to their dreams, struggles, and sense of humor, Cal learns to navigate waves of conflict and loss while realizing her own place in the web of life.

This family saga is about the tenacity of the human spirit, the natural world, and our narrator’s emerging consciousness as she passes from cheeky tomboy to self-possessed woman. Author Connie Claire Szarke will attend the meeting to discuss the book with us.
