Hi everyone,
Our last book club meeting was about the book “Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots” by Deborah Feldman. In this memoir she documented her life in an ultra-religious Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York. She then recounted her escape from the sect.
Our next book is “Before We Were Yours” by Lisa Wingate. It is a historical fiction novel based on a horrifying scandal that occurred with adoptions at a Memphis based orphanage. Though this is an incredibly sad situation, for many this novel manages to turn a heart-wrenching situation into a heart-warming story.
The next book club meeting will be on Sunday March 23rd at 12:30 in the TBT library.
You are welcome to come to the book club even if you haven’t completed the book or read the book yet. You can still contribute to the conversation and have a good time.
Feel free to bring lunch or a snack.
Quote: “A woman’s past need not predict her future. She can dance to new music if she chooses.”

I look forward to seeing you on March 23rd.
Carol
