“Fire and Forgiveness” Chosen for Together We Can Read Program in Columbia, SC

Fire and Forgiveness: A Nun’s Truce with General Sherman is the 2019 City of Columbia and Richland County School District One “Together We Can Read” selection! All 2,000 third-graders in that school district received a copy of the book to take home to help build their personal libraries. And on March 26, more than 100 guest readers took time out of their busy schedules to read the book to Richland One third-grade students as part of the 11th annual Together We Can Read literacy initiative.
