April 29 - Meeting at Pembrook

"The Color of Water" by James McBride, was our book of choice for April meeting.  We were a smaller group than usual ....ten in all.  Everyone present liked this book...to different degrees.  Discussion of what motivated James mother to somehow provide a college education (some advanced degrees) for her large family.  What effect did her Jewish heritage play?  Why did she as a white woman marry two black men.  What difficulties did her decision cause her? 

Beverly presented a list of five choices for our June 24, book discussion. 
Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd
Digging to America by Anne Tyler
The Habit by Susan Morse
Such a Pretty Face by Cathy Lamb
Perfection- A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal

"The Habit" received a majority vote.  But, when Kathy tried to find library copies, there were not available in the entire state of New Hampshire.  Communicated to the book group via email and it was decided that our June book would be "Traveling with Pomegranates".
