SUMMARY:Fiction Book Club - The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett
DESCRIPTION:A bold\, big-hearted novel about a group of unbreakable women\, fighting for what’s rightfully theirs. \n\n\n\nJoin us to discuss one of the biggest books of the year from the bestselling author of The Help\, Kathryn Stockett. \nCLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING \nOxford\, Mississippi\, 1933. \nAbandoned by her mother one Christmas Eve\, eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one. Now one of the unadoptable “big girls” at the Lafayette County Orphan Asylum\, she fights each day to keep her spirit unbowed. \nBirdie Calhoun\, unmarried and outspoken\, has come to Oxford to ask her socialite sister to help the struggling family she’s left behind. But as the Depression tightens its grip\, Birdie discovers her sister’s seemingly charmed life is a tapestry of lies. \nThen\, Birdie encounters Charlie\, a woman running low on luck with little left to lose. When their fates–and Meg’s–converge\, Charlie comes up with an audacious plan for them to take control of their lives. But in a place and time where hypocrisy is rife and women’s freedom is fragile\, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences. \nThe Calamity Club will make you laugh\, cry\, and cheer–an epic testament to underestimated women who know that calamity can be the spark of new beginnings. This is Kathryn Stockett at her most confident\, heartfelt\, and hilarious–the triumphant return of one of the most beloved storytellers of our time.
