Collin College invites students and community members to join its annual Book-in-Common program by reading Hua Hsu\u2019s Stay True.<\/p>\n

The yearlong initiative encourages participants to read the same book and discuss its themes. Stay True is a coming-of-age memoir exploring college life, friendship, music, identity, grief, race, 90s pop culture, philosophies of life, and technology.<\/p>\n

The Pulitzer Prize-winning book is available at the Collin College Library as an eBook or audiobook.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, our committee selects a book that is well-written, engaging, and offers new perspectives,\u201d said Ryan S. Fletcher, district coordinator for Book-in-Common.<\/p>\n
