Monday Afternoon Book Group
Monday @ 4 pm on Zoom
Our next good book will be The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. It takes place in Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare.
Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst?
Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test.
The group reads about 100 pages a week, then meets for an hour each week on Zoom for a discussion.
New members are most welcome ~ join us for interesting reading, spirited conversation and laughter!

Coffee & Conversation
Typically, Coffee Hour is the first Sunday of the month. Sometimes it changes, based on the church calendar. The Congregational Life & Special Events Team provides for set-up, clean-up, and snacks. Periodically, another team adopts a month as a way to highlight an event or cause.
We’re a small group and I invite you to join us in providing hospitality for our community by hosting a Sunday or bringing a snack. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have and provide a tour of the kitchen.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful care and participation. Please let me know when you’d like to host.
I’m happy to help.
Joanie White for the Special Events Team
