OUR COMMUNITY READS is designed to bring members of the Santa Cruz County community together around one book. The winning book for the 2025 Season is Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. Kingsolver's riveting story concerns a young wife and mother on a failing farm in rural Tennessee who experiences something she cannot explain, and how her discovery energizes various competing factions—religious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, politicians—trapping her in the center of the conflict and ultimately opening up her world.
