“Into The Beautiful North” is the eighth book chosen by Galveston Reads.

It is an amusing, poignant story about a strong young woman and her friends who are concerned about the drug lords beginning to invade their small village. The woman and her friends figure out a way that might rid their town of these vicious men but it includes an adventure to the United States.

To find out more about her quest, pick up “Into The Beautiful North” from your local bookstore or borrow it from Rosenberg Library or The Robbie Farmer Memorial Library at Moody Methodist Church.
