SUMMARY:Ferrum Community Book Club - "Nobody’s Girl" by Virginia Roberts Guiffre
DESCRIPTION:The Ferrum Book Club meets every month except December on the third Monday of the month at 6 p.m. All are welcome to join for any or all discussions. \nNov.  16    Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Guiffre \nLocation: Britt Hall 204\, Ferrum Mountain Road\, Ferrum\, VA 24088\n(Turn left into 3rd driveway from Rt. 40 on Ferrum Mountain Road to park behind Britt Hall.)\nIf anyone has mobility issues\, the group can meet downstairs\, not far from a ground-floor door and handicapped parking spots. Just let someone know. \nInformation from the publisher\, Penguin Random House:  \n#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre\, the woman who dared to take on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell \n“Make no mistake: this is a book about power\, corruption\, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims. . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero. . . . Important [and] courageous.” —The Guardian \nThe world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison\, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But her story has never been told in full\, in her own words—until now. \nIn April 2025\, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity. \nHere\, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell\, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child\, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever. \nNobody’s Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first\, to claw her way out of victimhood\, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer\, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce\, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair. \nBook list for 2027 will be reviewed at the November meeting. \nNo meeting in December.

SUMMARY:Ferrum Community Book Club: Visit with Amanda Cockrell and her Latest Novel
DESCRIPTION:The Ferrum Book Club meets every month except December on the third Monday of the month (usually at 6 p.m.). All are welcome to join for any or all discussions. \nBook for discussion October 19: Are You Now or Have You Ever Been? A Novel of the Hollywood Blacklist\, with author Amanda Cockrell joining us. \nLocation: We will meet in the Magnolia Room this time (enclosed room in the dining hall upstairs in Franklin Hall) and gather about 5:30 to have dinner. \nAmanda’s overview of the novel: \nElizabeth Sydney’s film career spanned the Golden Age of Hollywood and barely survived Sen. Joe McCarthy’s infamous Red Scare hunt for Communists that produced a blacklist that shattered careers. Some of her costars and writer friends weren’t so lucky. Now she wants to be buried in her back yard and the will is invalid if she doesn’t get her way. A combustible assortment of industry friends\, family\, former lovers\, a man no one has hitherto heard of\, half a dozen charitable beneficiaries\, and an ungovernable horde of media descend on the small California town where she retired and picked out a spot in her oak grove. As they try to break the will\, her reasons begin to surface in the story of an old betrayal of friends by friends and by the country’s own government. \nAmanda’s website with overview and review excerpts. \nHollins U Substack page with comments by Amanda about the novel. \nAlso known as the Time Traveler’s Book Club\, this group usually discusses one novel per month – different kinds of novels chosen by the group in fall for the following year\, and occasionally a nonfiction book. \nThis is a small community group open to anyone\, not a Ferrum College organization. No sign-up or prior notice is required. If you haven’t finished a book (and don’t mind spoilers) or haven’t read the book but you’d like to hear a book discussion anyway and see what it’s like\, just show up. Participants acquire the books on their own from a library or bookseller. \nFor more information and to get on the group’s email list\, contact Lana Whited at Ferrum College\, lwhited@ferrum.edu\, or Susan Selvage\, sselvage22@yahoo.com. \n\nAmanda Cockrell \nUpcoming Books\nDiscussion of books for 2027 will be finalized during this last meeting of 2026. \nNov.  16    Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Guiffre \nDecember – no meeting
