Hey,
This is Jana B. I've come to this site a few times and thought I would reccommend a book. I am trying to get it picked in our book club,for next month as well. It is called "These Are My Words" It is a fiction story written in journal form about a women who was a pioneer (non lds) that settled in the Arizona territory...it was so great! check it out, it would be a good choice for a discussion. It deals a lot with trials, love , tragedy, and history. It's fab.
Thanks for the idea Jana- I'll put it on the idea list. We are always looking for good literature. Have you ever read the Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd?- I just finished it, and I thought it was definitely worthwhile, set in the U.S. south, 1964- dealing with racism, depression, the true meaning of love, parent- child relationships. Kind of deep, but really uplifting at the end.

Yes, We read that two years ago in our book club and I really enjoyed it, I had completely forgotten that one. I would reccommend that one also.
