From Page 2 Stage will Discuss "The Kite Runner" on January 21st
"The Kite Runner" is the story of two boys growing up in Afghanistan, their unique friendship, how it is tried by sibling rivalry, torn apart by the Soviet Afghan War, and later by the Taliban. It is also about the redemptive courage and power to make things right once they have gone horribly wrong in a terrible world. Come join us as we view and discuss it in our meeting room at 2 o'clock on January 21st.
