Our last book club meeting was about the book “Take My Hand” by Dolan Perkins-Valdez. We discussed the role of the U.S. government in controlling the reproductive rights of women in 1973 and currently. Then it was forced sterilization, now, eliminating access to abortions. We agreed that we need access to safe and legal abortions in the entire country.
We compared our childhoods to those of the characters in the book. We also talked about guilt and how it affected the lives of those characters.
Our next book is “The Maid” by Nita Prose. In it a young maid, Molly, who works in a luxury hotel, walks into a room where a wealthy and regular guest is dead in his bed. Murder is suspected. Because of her abnormal behavior and mannerisms, and her proximity socially and physically to the scene, Molly is the prime suspect.
The next meeting will be on Sunday September 22nd, at 12:30, in the TBT library. The meeting will be followed at 2:00 by the annual Sisterhood meeting. At that time I will be collecting $36 Sisterhood dues. If you cannot attend in person please send a $36 check, made out to TBT Sisterhood, to Carol Zucker,
3814 Partridgeberry Ct, Houston,TX 77059.
Feel free to lunch or a snack.
