New Book Club Materials!

Our latest book club read The Monk of Mokha, by Dave Eggers.

This book tells the true story of Mokhtar Alkhanshali, a Yemeni American who becomes obsessed with coffee’s roots and sets out to bring high-quality Yemeni coffee to the world. His journey takes him from San Francisco cafés to Yemen just as civil war erupts, turning his entrepreneurial dream into a dramatic race for survival. Along the way, the book explores identity, immigration, cultural heritage, and the power of one person’s perseverance.

You can find all our Book Club materials HERE. This time, we also have bonus materials available that include facilitator notes, visual aids, maps, main character bio, author bio, and all chapter summaries so facilitator can tailor weekly readings to their own group’s pace.
