Book Of The Month:
Joy For Beginners
by Erica Bauermeister
When Kate, a cancer survivor, takes on a daring challenge, she asks her six friends to do the same—pushing them toward the wild, untamed joys of life. Set against lush, natural backdrops and woven with warmth and wisdom, this story is a celebration of simple joys, and the deep-rooted bonds between women who lift each other up.
