The Rotary Book Club will meet on Monday, September 21, 2026, 6:30 PM, at J. Wilbur Company, 3242 Roanoke, Kansas City, MO 64111 for the discussion of the book The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnson.  The book is available at Rainy Day Books and all Rotarians and guests are welcome

About the book: Fred discovers Bernard’s body during a nursing home outing and, in the ensuing confusion, is assumed to be Bernard by the staff. Initially, Fred wants to escape, but with nowhere else to go, he gradually embraces his new circumstances. As he walks in Bernard’s shoes, he touches the lives of those around him, including Denise Simms, a middle-aged caregiver struggling with her own family challenges. Fred’s acts of kindness and honesty leave a lasting impact, and he forms meaningful connections with other residents, such as Albert, who believes Fred is his late brother. The story explores Fred’s journey from fear and invisibility to purpose and connection. By the end, the novel emphasizes renewal and the creation of chosen family, with Fred helping others while rediscovering his own sense of meaning
