Sisters Book Club
Sisters Book Club will be meeting on Thursday, October 17th at Ellie Stryker’s house. Our October book selection is The Birth House by Ami McKay. It’s the story of ” Dora Rare, the first daughter to be born in five generations of Rares. As a child in an isolated village in Nova Scotia, she is drawn to an outspoken Acadian midwife. . . . The Birth House is an unforgettable tale of the struggles women have faced to have control of their own bodies and to keep the best part of tradition alive in the modern world of medicine.” Ellie will provide lunch. Please let her know if you plan to attend.
