Where:
Daily Grind -- Main Street
What: The
library will continue its book discussion series with The Host by
Stephanie Meyer.
Summary:
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away.
Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts
for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain
intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity
has succumbed.
When Melanie, one
of the few remaining "wild" humans is
captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who
has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living
inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the
too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect:
the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of
her mind.
Wanderer probes
Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining
human resistance. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's
mind with visions of the man Melanie loves—Jared, a human who
still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires,
Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing.
When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they
set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.
