The book to be discussed is "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" by Ernest J Gaines. Pick up a copy of the book at the library.
The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Ernest J Gaines is available as a print book, an e-book, and a downloadable audiobook in the library's collection.
Set in rural southern Louisiana, this novel spans 100 years of American history as it follows the life of Jane Pittman, who witnessed everything from the early 1860s to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. It serves as a witness to her survival of a massacre by former Confederate soldiers, to her becoming a Christian and spiritual guide following the death of her husband, to the day she confronts a plantation owner who represents the white power structure which has always wielded power over her.

About the branch
The Brightwood Branch opened in 1901 as the sixth public library in Indianapolis. It served the Brightwood community at several locations along Station Street, one street west of its current North Sherman Avenue storefront site which opened in 1972. A 1996 renovation at this location doubled the size of the branch to 5,400 square feet. In 2020, a brand-new branch building, across the street from the previous branch, was completed and re-named as the Martindale-Brightwood Branch.
