Our theme for this spring series is "The Walls of Our Lives."

Throughout these five months, we will explore the boundaries that shape us. Whether they are the physical walls of history, the domestic walls of a marriage, the seasonal walls of nature, or the invisible walls of our own memories. As we read, we consider how these "walls" don't just surround us. They eventually change us, perhaps even becoming part of our very "DNA" and the legacy we leave behind.
