In September we met at Julie’s home to discuss her book Blessing, by Anna Quindlen.
A teenage couple drop off an unwanted baby at the garage door of a an estate called Blessings which is owned by Lydia Blessing.
The caretaker and gardener, Skip Cuddy decides to keep the baby secretly. The owner of Blessings discover the baby and joins with Skip in raising the child which changes both their lives.
The secrets of the past and how they affect the decisions of the present is one theme. It’s about family and the community and about redemption and change. As Julie stated, it was a sweet book which speaks to people of our age and urges us to action in living a life worthwhile.
Julie made a wonderful pasta salad inspired by the New York Times and we had a lovely picnic on her deck.
Marsha chose the book called Never by Ken Follett for
our October meeting.
