Before the craziness of fall sets in, take a minute to enjoy the last of summer with a good book and join us for book club in August as we discuss "The Sunshine Girls" by Molly Fader.
Book description from Amazon: "Two friends. A lifetime of secrets. One sparkling story.
1967 Iowa. Nursing school roommates BettyKay and Kitty don’t have much in common. BettyKay has risked her family’s disapproval to pursue her dreams away from her small town. Cosmopolitan Kitty has always relied on her beauty and smarts to get by and to hide a painful secret. Yet the two share a determination to prove themselves in a changing world, forging an unlikely bond on a campus unkind to women.
Before their first year is up, tragedy strikes, and the women’s paths are forced apart. But against all odds, a decades-long friendship forms, persevering through love, marriage, failure, and death, from the jungles of Vietnam to the glamorous circles of Hollywood. Until one snowy night leads their relationship to the ultimate crossroads.
Fifty years later, two estranged sisters are shocked when a famous movie star shows up at their mother's funeral. Over one tumultuous weekend, the women must reckon with a dazzling truth about their family that will alter their lives forever..."
Looking ahead: Book club meets at 7 pm on the third Tuesday of every month in locations all over San Diego as chosen by book club members. Our book club selection for September is The Orphan Collector by Ellen Marie Wiseman.
