Sociological Book Group @ The Jenks

This book club at The Jenks, in partnership with the Winchester Public Library, brings a sociological and anthropological lens to the discussion of books. This month, we will discuss Rough Sleepers by Tracy Kidder. After Jim O'Connell graduated from Harvard Medical School and was nearing the end of his residency at Massachusetts General, the hospital's chief of medicine made a proposal: Would he defer a prestigious fellowship and spend a year helping to create an organization to bring health care to homeless citizens? That year turned into O'Connell's life's calling.
