Book Clubs

Stories are meant to be shared. I’m so honored you’ve chosen to read together, and read one of my books!

I write novels about women's lives, about reinvention, friendship, love, and the courage to begin again. If you’re gathering around one of my books, I hope these resources help you create a meaningful, memorable conversation.

How to Host

As a book club member myself, I know how hard it can be to get discussion going. Here's a super-simple guide to help.

  • Start with a simple round: What was your first emotional reaction to the book?

  • Move into 2–3 theme questions (see below)

  • Pause halfway for a deeper or more personal question

  • End with a reflection: What will stay with you?
