As the year winds down, I’ve been thinking about the power of stories—the ones we write, the ones we read, and the ones we share with each other. In this newsletter I am recommending two wonderful books I read recently for my book clubs. I'm also excited to tell you about a new resource I created for your book club. First...

The Girl on the Mountain Book Club Kit
|
Readers have asked for my comments about The Girl on the Mountain, so I finally put everything together in one easy download.
|
Inside this booklet, you’ll find guided discussion questions, historical context and themes, and character notes. The kit is a PDF file that you can email or text to others.
|
|
If you know a book club that enjoys stories of resilience, frontier life, and strong women, feel free to pass it along!

My most recent reads:
Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan
|
This is a tender, imaginative novel inspired by the life of C.S. Lewis. Callahan weaves a beautiful meditation on grief, hope, imagination, and the origins of Narnia. It’s the kind of book that reminds us why stories matter—and why we return to them when life grows difficult.

River of the Gods by Candice Millard
River of the Gods is gripping narrative nonfiction at its best—an account of the race to locate the source of the Nile in the mid-19th century. Millard brings alive the explorers, the dangers, and the brilliant but often overlooked contributions of Sidi Mubarak Bombay. It's suspenseful, richly detailed, and fascinating. Here's the link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/River-Gods-Genius-Courage-Betrayal/dp/0525435646
