Hello everyone, its hard to believe we are nearing the end of summer…mine has been great and I hope so has yours.
I want to remind everyone about our upcoming Class of 1977 Book Club on Thursday, September 12th at 8 pm Eastern, with the book ALL WE EVER WANTED, by Emily Griffin
As I mentioned in my last eblast, Sue York read this book and suggested it for our next read because:
1. It is a story told from the point of view of 3 protagonists;
2. It gives a more balanced view of wealth and privilege than we typically get – i.e. mainstream media tends to vilify the rich when the reality is there are good and evil people across the socio-economic divides;
3. It is a good example of the dangers of social media;
4. Having worked with abused women as well as their abusers most of my adult life, I think it offers a good, if limited, example of the enduring life-long cost of sexual abuse;
5. It kept me guessing to the very end.
And I looked at reviews of this book and I found this one:
“Giffin is a worldwide best-selling author because she gets under your skin—by creating relatable characters wrestling within believable situations. . . . Giffin crafts an unpredictable page-turner that unfolds in the voices of three superbly distinct characters. . . . Her latest . . . is destined for greatness.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So I hope a lot of you will join us on September 12th to discuss this thought-provoking book, and also catch up with each other after the summer.
