<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For five women whose lives are in transition, their regular book club meeting provides them a place of comfort, support, and sanctuary.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>On the surface, it is a monthly book club. But for five women, it is so much more.</strong> <p/>For Eve Porter, whose husband's sudden death cheats her of every security she had planned on, the club is a place of sanctuary. For Annie Blake, a brilliant attorney intent on starting a family late in life, it is the chance to finally let down her guard and dream of other possibilities. For Doris Bridges, it is her support group as she acknowledges her dying marriage and finds the ultimate freedom in her husband's betrayal. For Gabriella Rivera, the "perfect" wife, mother and friend who offers support to everyone but is afraid to ask for it herself, it is a sense of community. And for Midge Kirsch, an artist who has always lived her life against the grain, it is a haven of acceptance. <p/>They are five women from different walks of life, embracing the challenge of change. And as they share their hopes and fears and triumphs, they will hold fast to the true magic of the book club--friendship. <p/><strong>"</strong><strong><em>The Book Club</em></strong><strong> weaves the individual story threads into a warm, unified whole that will appeal to readers who enjoy multifaceted relationship novels with strong women protagonists." --</strong><strong><em>Library Journal</em></strong><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>With its evocative, often beautiful prose and keen insights into family relationships, Monroe's latest is an exceptional and heartwarming work of fiction. <p/>-Publisher's Weekly starred review of The Beach House <p/>The Book Club skillfully weaves the individual story threads into a warm, unified whole that will appeal to readers who enjoy multifaceted relationship novels with strong women protagonists. <p/>-Library Journal on The Book Club <p/>Skyward is a soaring, passionate story of loneliness and pain and the simple ability of love to heal and transcend both.
