BOOK DISCUSSION Heritage Room

Stars Over Clear Lake by Loretta Ellsworth

Discussion Leader: Elaine Kirk

A visit to the Iowa Surf Ballroom, which housed German prisoners during World War II, prompts Lorraine, now in her eighties, to confront the fateful encounter that forced her to choose  between her heart and her duty years ago. Lakeville author Ellsworth tells this moving story of forbidden love, lost love, enduring love, and resilience.

The United States is at a turning point when it comes to global engagement and the role of its military. Some argue for a larger military; others favor a more traditional multilateral leadership. Still others favor greater restraint and cooperation. What is the role of the United States military force, arms sales, and security assistance in the shifting international system?
