SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in NOVEMBER for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy 1960s standards\, Margaret Ryan is living the American woman’s dream. She has a husband\, three children\, a station wagon\, and a home in Concordia–one of Northern Virginia’s most exclusive and picturesque suburbs. She has a standing invitation to the neighborhood coffee klatch\, and now\, thanks to her husband\, a new subscription to A Woman’s Place–a magazine that tells housewives like Margaret exactly who to be and what to buy. On paper\, she has it all. So why doesn’t that feel like enough? \n\n\n\nMargaret is thrown for a loop when she first meets Charlotte Gustafson\, Concordia’s newest and most intriguing resident. As an excuse to be in the mysterious Charlotte’s orbit\, Margaret concocts a book club get-together and invites two other neighborhood women–Bitsy and Viv–to the inaugural meeting. As the women share secrets\, cocktails\, and their honest reactions to the controversial bestseller The Feminine Mystique\, they begin to discover that the American dream they’d been sold isn’t all roses and sunshine–and that their secret longing for more is something they share. Nicknaming themselves the Bettys\, after Betty Friedan\, these four friends have no idea their impromptu club and the books they read together will become the glue that helps them hold fast through tears\, triumphs\, angst\, and arguments–and what will prove to be the most consequential and freeing year of their lives. \n\n\n\nThe Book Club for Troublesome Women is a humorous\, thought provoking\, and nostalgic romp through one pivotal and tumultuous American year–as well as an ode to self-discovery\, persistence\, and the power of sisterhood.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Heather Webber
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in JUNE for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Heather Webber. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA mysterious letter. An offer taken. And the chance to move forward.When Ava Harrison receives a letter containing an unusual job listing one month after the sudden death of her ex-boyfriend\, she thinks she’s being haunted. The listing—a job as a live-in caretaker for a peculiar old man and his cranky cat in Driftwood\, Alabama—is the perfect chance to start a new life. A normal life. Ava has always been too fearful to even travel\, so no one’s more surprised than she is when she throws caution to the wind and drives to the distant beachside town.On the surface\, Maggie Mae Brightwell is a bundle of energy as she runs Magpie’s\, Driftwood’s coffee and curiosity shop\, where there’s magic to be found in pairing the old with the new. But lurking under her cheerful exterior is a painful truth—keeping busy is the best way to distract herself from the lingering loss of her mama and her worries about her aging father. No one knows better than she does that you can’t pour from an empty cup\, but holding on to the past is the only thing keeping the hope alive that her mama will return home one day.Ava and Maggie soon find they’re kindred spirits\, as they’re both haunted—not by spirits\, but by regret. Both must learn to let go of the past to move on—because sometimes the waves of change bring you to the place where you most belong.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in MAY for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the acclaimed author of The Poisonwood Bible and The Bean Trees and the recipient of the National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\, a brilliant novel that enthralls\, compels\, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero’s unforgettable journey to maturity \n\n\n\nSet in the mountains of southern Appalachia\, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer\, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair\, a caustic wit\, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice\, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care\, child labor\, derelict schools\, athletic success\, addiction\, disastrous loves\, and crushing losses. Through all of it\, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities. \n\n\n\nMany generations ago\, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for listeners of this novel\, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South\, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens’ anger and compassion\, and above all\, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys\, and all those born into beautiful\, cursed places they can’t imagine leaving behind.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: Homeseeking by Karissa Chen
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in MARCH for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is HOMESEEKING by Karissa Chen. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom WWII to 2008\, this deeply moving story follows one couple across sixty years as world events pull them together and apart\, illuminating the Chinese diaspora and exploring what it means to find home far from your homeland.Haiwen is buying bananas at a 99 Ranch Market in Los Angeles when he looks up and sees Suchi\, his Suchi\, for the first time in sixty years. To recently widowed Haiwen it feels like a second chance\, but Suchi has only survived by refusing to look back.Suchi was seven when she first met Haiwen in their Shanghai neighborhood\, drawn by the sound of his violin. Their childhood friendship blossomed into soul-deep love\, but when Haiwen secretly enlisted in the Nationalist army in 1947 to save his brother from the draft\, she was left with just his violin and a note: Forgive me.Homeseeking follows the separated lovers through six decades of tumultuous Chinese history as war\, famine\, and opportunity take them separately to the song halls of Hong Kong\, the military encampments of Taiwan\, the bustling streets of New York\, and sunny California\, telling Haiwen’s story from the present to the past while tracing Suchi’s from her childhood to the present\, meeting in the crucible of their lives. Throughout\, Haiwen holds his memories close while Suchi forces herself to look only forward\, neither losing sight of the home they hold in their hearts.At once epic and intimate\, Homeseeking is a story of family\, sacrifice\, and loyalty\, and of the power of love to endure beyond distance\, beyond time.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in FEBRUARY for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is THE FROZEN RIVER by Ariel Lawhon. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaine\, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes\, entombing a man in the ice\, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As a midwife and healer\, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death\, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier\, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion\, declaring the death to be an accident\, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.Over the course of one winter\, as the trial nears\, and whispers and prejudices mount\, Martha doggedly pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal\, implicating those she loves\, and compelling Martha to decide where her own loyalties lie.Clever\, layered\, and subversive\, Ariel Lawhon’s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard. The Frozen River is a thrilling\, tense\, and tender story about a remarkable woman who left an unparalleled legacy yet remains nearly forgotten to this day.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: The Briar Club by Kate Quinn
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in JANUARY for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is THE BRIAR CLUB by Kate Quinn. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye and The Rose Code returns with a haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington\, DC\, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era. \n\n\n\nWashington\, DC\, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House\, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely\, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room\, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss\, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora\, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice\, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous\, gung-ho Arlene\, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare. \n\n\n\nGrace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives\, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart\, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst? \n\n\n\nCapturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America\, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in NOVEMBER for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is THE SEED KEEPER by Diane Wilson. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA haunting novel spanning several generations\, The Seed Keeper follows a Dakhóta family’s struggle to preserve their way of life\, and their sacrifices to protect what matters most. \n\n\n\nRosalie Iron Wing has grown up in the woods with her father\, Ray\, a former science teacher who tells her stories of plants\, of the stars\, of the origins of the Dakhóta people. Until\, one morning\, Ray doesn’t return from checking his traps. Told she has no family\, Rosalie is sent to live with a foster family in nearby Mankato—where the reserved\, bookish teenager meets rebellious Gaby Makespeace\, in a friendship that transcends the damaged legacies they’ve inherited. \n\n\n\nOn a winter’s day many years later\, Rosalie returns to her childhood home. A widow and mother\, she has spent the previous two decades on her white husband’s farm\, finding solace in her garden even as the farm is threatened first by drought and then by a predatory chemical company. Now\, grieving\, Rosalie begins to confront the past\, on a search for family\, identity\, and a community where she can finally belong. In the process\, she learns what it means to be descended from women with souls of iron—women who have protected their families\, their traditions\, and a precious cache of seeds through generations of hardship and loss\, through war and the insidious trauma of boarding schools. \n\n\n\nWeaving together the voices of four indelible women\, The Seed Keeper is a beautifully told story of reawakening\, of remembering our original relationship to the seeds and\, through them\, to our ancestors.

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting: The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in OCTOBER for our next book club meeting! The book for this coming meeting is The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s Nantucket wedding season\, also known as summer-the sight of a bride racing down Main Street is as common as the sun setting at Madaket Beach. The Otis-Winbury wedding promises to be an event to remember: the groom’s wealthy parents have spared no expense to host a lavish ceremony at their oceanfront estate. But it’s going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons after tragedy strikes: a body is discovered in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony-and everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect. As Chief of Police Ed Kapenash interviews the bride\, the groom\, the groom’s famous mystery-novelist mother\, and even a member of his own family\, he discovers that every wedding is a minefield-and no couple is perfect. Featuring beloved characters from The Castaways\, Beautiful Day\, and A Summer Affair\, The Perfect Couple proves once again that Elin Hilderbrand is the queen of the summer beach read.
