Dear Bookclub,
Last night's meeting at Lynne's was wonderful! Julie shared the story of her great-grandmother, Mabel Lee, who as an 8 year old girl, had been transported by orphan train to a new life. Presenting memorabilia that included numerous photos of Mabel, her husband, two daughters, and Julie's mother, Julie brought the novel we'd read to an amazing level of reality. We were so lucky to have this opportunity to appreciate the impact and outcome of this woman's experience. Thank you Julie!
Titles considered for an upcoming selection that Lynne presented: Anna Quindlen's, "Still Life with Breadcrumbs", "The Husband's Secret" by Liane Moriarty and "Defending Jacob"* by William Landay *(chosen).
Keep on reading!
