Summary

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This week, we're thankful to begin a new book. We start our series on Stephen King's Desperation with chapters 1 through 3. We meet the lovable scamp that is the as-of-yet-unnamed Desperation PD officer and three groups of people he's bringing to his one-coyote town (actually there are many, many coyotes).

Discussion Question: King writes one of the most intense traffic stops ever. What is your favorite traffic stop in storytelling?

Next week, Desperation continues with chapters 4 and 5!
