Carlee WrightSalem Reads has selected an epic family tale set in Ecuador for its February 2024 program.
Salem Reads, the community-wide reading project that invites everyone in Salem to read the same book, take part in discussions, and enjoy related programs, has selected The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova for its 2024 read.
