On November 22, 1963, a momentous event unfolded in Dallas—three shots rang out, President Kennedy was assassinated, and the world as we knew it changed forever. Ellen memorial libraryGlatfelter Memorial Library describes Stephen King's novel “11.22.63” as a fast but epic read about a time traveler who tries to stop the Kennedy assassination. She loved the blend of a love story, historical fiction, science fiction, and the detailed portrayal of life in the 1950s and 1960s. Whether you experienced this era firsthand or are discovering it through the pages of a book, King's vivid storytelling is an unforgettable journey.
