In 1967 a group of women bond at the playground in Palo Alto, California. They are different in background and personality, yet united in their love for family and in a dream, to be authors.

In time, this critique extends to the definition of who they are as women, in an era when the gold standard of feminine excellence is at it’s essence to be a successful homemaker or Miss America.

2016 National Book Festival poster by Yuko Shimizu

Yesterday I had a fabulous day downtown at the National Book Festival 2016. I went with 4 friends, who are all kindred souls when it comes to love of words. We arrived downtown ready to look around the festival, hear a speaker or two, and do a little shopping. Amazingly, at least to me, within the space of a few hours we each heard three authors speak and had multiple signed books.

Keep reading for highlights of the day and lessons we learned!

If your book club is planning selections for fall already, you might want to consider The Lantern by Deborah Lawrenson. It is a gothic tale best read when the days shorten and summer days are only just beginning to fade to memory. We read this in one of my book clubs for our October reading several years ago; in my view, it was the perfect book for that month. Continue reading →

The Secret Keeper: A Novel by [Morton, Kate]

https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Keeper-Novel-Kate-Morton-ebook/dp/B007EECSFA?ie=UTF8&ref_=asap_bc
