Event Details
We are back! With a new name Maroon Moms Book Club, M.M.B.C.
We are all busy with our role as mom, homeschool teacher, and everything else. However, it’s essential to take some time out for ourselves. Let’s take a mental break from being everything to everyone to get lost in a book/audiobook and get together to discuss, laugh, and make new connections.
Location: Cafe Lucia, 1260 W Spring St B, Smyrna, GA 30080
Sign up deadline: November 5th
How it works: This mom’s book club is meant to be non-aggressive in its schedule and commitment. We encourage everyone to read the book or listen to the audiobook to be able to engage in the book club discussions fully. However, you are more than welcome to read Cliffs Notes, Spark Notes, or Super Summaries of the book selections and join us for discussion.
November's Book: "Seven Days In June" by Tia Williams
Brooklynite Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer, who is feeling pressed from all sides. Shane Hall is a reclusive, enigmatic, award-winning literary author who, to everyone's surprise, shows up in New York.When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their past buried traumas, but the eyebrows of New York's Black literati. What no one knows is that twenty years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. They may be pretending that everything is fine now, but they can't deny their chemistry - or the fact that they've been secretly writing to each other in their books ever since.Over the next seven days in the middle of a steamy Brooklyn summer, Eva and Shane reconnect, but Eva's not sure how she can trust the man who broke her heart, and she needs to get him out of New York so that her life can return to normal. But before Shane disappears again, there are a few questions she needs answered...With its keen observations of Black life and the condition of modern motherhood, as well as the consequences of motherless-ness, Seven Days in June is by turns humorous, warm and deeply sensual.
