October Book and Dinner Club

Laura is hosting our October Book and Dinner Club at Norma's Eastern Mediterranean Cuisine in Cherry Hill. Owners wife and husband, Norma and George Bitar, offer fresh flavorful Mediterranean food. Menu highlights include chicken schwarma, falafel, and amazing hummus! Their sampler platter is recommended:) Please BYOB. Lisa chose Lightning in a Mason Jar, by Catherine Mann. A heartwarming and thought-provoking story told across two timelines about the importance of found family and female resilience. Since Bailey Rae Rigby’s aunt Winnie passed, South Carolina doesn’t have much of a hold on her anymore. Bailey Rae aims to settle the small estate and buy a food truck with an ocean view in Myrtle Beach. Everything goes awry when Winnie's personal cookbook opens up a world of questions. Who really was the beloved aunt she’s known most of her life? Winnie Ballard’s story reaches back fifty years, but there’s more to Winnie’s deliverance and long-held secrets than Bailey Rae imagines. With each revelation, Bailey Rae draws on her aunt’s courage to find purpose herself. For now, whatever threats may come, Bailey Rae isn’t going anywhere. (Sorry about the weird formatting! Meetup problem???)
