"Best Book Club ever - in  my humble opinion....Being able to ask the author, Marcia Rudin, questions about character development and her research, made our discussion so rich. And hearing from the variety of backgrounds of our group also added so much. But the star was our "guest speaker" and good friend, Jacqui Fogelberg.  She very eloquently and generously shared her journey and perspectives related to being a nun during much of the same time period as the book.

Then of course there was the good food and wine. A totally perfect afternoon" 

Jacqui  a beautiful woman inside and out.                       

Never do we go hungry!

Hear My Voice

It's spring practice and here is our newest read, selected by Noreen. 

(recognize the last name?)

"As three women attend an awards ceremony in their honor, they relive their complicated personal and religious journeys. While listening to the speakers, each struggles with a difficult choice she must make by the end of the evening that will forever change her life.

Mona Sullivan seeks peace and certitude when she becomes a nun, but must adjust to tumultuous changes in her Church. As she becomes an activist public figure, she must decide whether to stay in the Church or leave to become an Episcopal priest.

Sandra Miller embarks on a long and difficult journey to become a rabbi at a time when women weren’t accepted. Now she must choose between her childhood sweetheart and her successful."

Catch Up Time!!!

October: Lisa choose Being Mortal, a meaningful book for her. ...a tough read, but we each took away a new understanding. 

November:  Met at Kathy's home - our first time since her big remodel. Lovely!  Kelly selected the book A Gentleman from Moscow.  Fascinating!

January : we met at Kelly's home. As usual so much fun, great food, the book was Kathy's choice Two Kinds of Truth - good old  Harry Bosch.

Roz has selected The Lilac Girls, for February 25th. 

Three Months Later.....December 2017

Pictures seem to be forgotten or banned lately!  

 

We had a fantastic afternoon discussing A Hillbilly Elegy. Not a favorite read but we each learned something. Our discussion was terrific, definitely a book that gave us cause to think.

 October 15, Lisa will host. The selection was one of the ten best books in 2007.


In Being Mortal, bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending
