Looking for Camaraderie and Comfort this Year – Join a Book Club!
At our last book club, I looked across the table and smiled. Each one of these lovely women brings something unique to our group, and I marvel at our differences and similarities and how we’ve blended over the years to become this reassuring place where our secrets are safe, and our spirits are lifted.
