Cancelled: Cover2Cover Book Club: "Carrying Albert Home: The Somewhat True Story of a Man, His Wife, and Her Alligator"
Elsie Lavender and Homer Hickam (the father of the author) were high school classmates in the West Virginia coalfields, graduating just as the Great Depression began. When Homer asked for her hand, Elsie instead headed to Orlando where she sparked with a dancing actor named Buddy Ebsen (yes, that Buddy Ebsen). But when Buddy headed for New York, Elsie’s dreams of a life with him were crushed and eventually she found herself back in the coalfields, married to Homer.
Pick up a copy of Carrying Albert Home: The Somewhat true Story of a Man, His Wife, and Her Alligator by Homer Hickam and register to join us to discuss the book.
