Absolution – A Book Discussion (Via Zoom)

February 18, 2:00-3:00pm

$10 | Via Zoom

Absolution is the story of Tricia, who was once a naïve young newlywed living in Saigon in 1963, married to an engineer working for US Navy Intelligence. Sixty years later, Tricia looks back on that time… of her yearning for children, of her altruistic impulses toward the suffering people of Vietnam, and of her influential friendship with another American wife. The story is told through letters. Author Alice McDermott confronts the unresolved mysteries and ironies of America’s tragic interference in Southeast Asia.

A Minnesota native and a Cojourner with the Rochester Franciscans, Rosemary Grebin Palms earned degrees from the College of St. Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and the University of Texas in Austin. She strives to be a peacebuilder with Pax Christi in New York City, where she has lived since 1971 and partakes in that city’s rich cultural offerings. After a 45 year-career in teaching, she enjoys novels, folk dancing, tennis and keeping up with her two children and four grandchildren.
