Suggested Summer Reading
First-year Students Are Reading
Call Number: GV790.92 M37 A3 2009
ISBN: 0061718866
Over the summer, first-year students at Spring Hill College were assigned to read A Pearl in the Storm, a true story by Tori Murden McClure, the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Students will have the opportunity to hear from McClure at a special program at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21 in Byrne Memorial Hall. Small group discussions will follow the presentation. The summer reading is part of the college’s First-Year Common Reading Project. McClure’s presentation is one of a number of events that kick off the fall semester and move-in activities for the class of 2014.
A Pearl in the Storm: How I Found My Heart in the Middle of the Ocean, is more than a woman-against-the-elements adventure tale; it is, in the words of actress Candice Bergen, “a story of courage, adventure, and personal discovery that will appeal to women and men of all ages. Beautiful, breathtaking, moving, and inspiring.”
