RISE Reads

A Book Club Based Around Incarceration and Reentry

Would you like to be a part of the RISE Reads Book Club? We'd love to have you!

The RISE Reads Book Club reads one book per quarter based around the themes of incarceration and reentry.
We will begin in late January/early February 2020 and will meet at The Bike Union Mentoring Project and Coffeehouse once a month to discuss the book, offer opinions, and address the likes and dislikes of what was read.

We also have a RISE Reads Facebook Group to keep a continuous dialog going of what we're reading!

RISE Reads Recap: The Master Plan by Chris Wilson

Join us as the RISE Reads book club recaps our third quarter read, The Master Plan by Chris Wilson.

This memoir takes a look into Chris Wilson's life surrounded by violence and despair. One night when he was seventeen, defending himself, he killed a man. He was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole. What should have been the end of his story became the beginning.
