Four Corners of the Sky - MaloneDo you like reading eBooks? If so, consider joining The Big Library Read! The Warren Public Library is participating in this worldwide eBook book club from May 15- June 1. The Big Library Read is sponsored by OverDrive, Warren’s vendor of eBooks and eAudiobooks, and is designed to show the positive exposure and sales influence library eBook catalogs provide to authors and publishers.

The title for The Big Library Read is The Four Corners of the Sky by Michael Malone.  It is a novel of love, secrets, and the mysterious bonds of families. Malone brings characters to life as only he can, exploring the questions that defy easy answers: Is love a choice or a calling? Why do the ties of family bind so tightly? And is forgiveness a gift to others…or a gift we give ourselves?

You can download The Four Corners of the Sky here from our eBooks site. For help with downloading eBooks, click here. We hope you will take part in The Big Read!
