Our Next Read

March 17th at 7 PM - All Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

           Thirteen-year-old Missouri boy Joseph "Patch" Macauley was born with one eye, so he wears an eye patch and imagines himself a pirate. In 1975, he sees a masked man assaulting a girl in the woods. He attacks the man and saves her, but the predator kidnaps him instead. Patch eventually wakes in total darkness in a cellar where a different girl secretly visits him, heard but always unseen. He learns that her name is Grace and that there have been other girls down there before. "Pray and stay alive," she whispers to Patch. Eventually he escapes, but she is nowhere to be found.

           Meanwhile, the bodies of three girls turn up locally, and their parents grieve. By now an adult, Patch pinballs from state to state, meeting with a dozen families looking for a dozen lost girls. To sustain himself he robs banks with an unloaded flintlock, and he shares his loot with organizations that are looking for missing children. He has reasoned the truest proof of life is pain, and he vows that he will die before he quits his search.
