Friday, October 18 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at the downtown library (610 Quincy Street, upstairs) we will be screening our October Book to Film Movie selection “Adrift.” A couple’s chance encounter leads them first to love and then the adventure of a lifetime when they are hired to take a 44-foot yacht on a 4,000-mile journey from Tahiti to San Diego. What the two avid sailors did not anticipate is sailing directly into a catastrophic hurricane. “Adrift” is the unforgettable story about the resilience of the human spirit and the transcendent power of love.

Starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin, “Adrift” is based on the inspiring true story, “Red Sky in Mourning: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea” by Tami Oldham Ashcraft and Susea McGearhart.
