Hurricane Sisters - August 2015

At our July 27th meeting, we discussed the book, Gemini by Carol Cassella.   Everyone really enjoyed the book and for many, it will be something they will think about for a long time. We had great conversations about genetic anomalies and quality of life vs quantity. Refreshments were pound cake, white cake and fruit.

Our next book will be Hurricane Sisters by Dorothea Benton Frank.  We will meet on Monday, August 31st at 3pm in the Library's Turner Room.  Books are available for pickup in the library and the discussion sheets are available in the library or online.  Please join us!

Hurricane Sisters summary:
"Once again Dorothea Benton Frank takes us deep into the heart of her magical South Carolina Lowcountry on a tumultuous journey filled with longings, disappointments, and, finally, a road toward happiness that is hard earned. There we meet three generations of women buried in secrets. The determined matriarch, Maisie Pringle, at eighty, is a force to be reckoned with because she will have the final word on everything, especially when she's dead wrong. Her daughter, Liz, is caught up in the classic maelstrom of being middle-aged and in an emotionally demanding career that will eventually open all their eyes to a terrible truth. And Liz's beautiful twenty-something daughter, Ashley, whose dreamy ambitions of her unlikely future keeps them all at odds. The Lowcountry has endured its share of war and bloodshed like the rest of the South, but this storm season we watch Maisie, Liz, and Ashley deal with challenges that demand they face the truth about themselves. After a terrible confrontation they are forced to rise to forgiveness, but can they establish a new order for the future of them all? This is the often hilarious, sometimes sobering, but always entertaining story of how these unforgettable women became The Hurricane Sisters." Goodreads.com
