November Book and Dinner Club

Diane is hosting our November Book and Dinner Club at one of our favorite places: Scarpinato's! Owner Joe Scarpinato serves large portions of authentic Italian dishes made from fresh ingredients. Please BYOB.

Lisa chose Ann Napolitano's Dear Edward, a New York Times bestseller that breaks your heart then stitches it back together and leaves you profoundly altered for the better.

What does it mean not just to survive, but to truly live?

One summer morning, twelve-year-old Edward Adler, his beloved older brother, his parents, and 183 other passengers board a flight in Newark headed for Los Angeles. Halfway across the country, the plane crashes. Edward is the sole survivor.

Edward makes an unexpected discovery—one that will lead him to the answers of some of life’s most profound questions: When you’ve lost everything, how do you find the strength to put one foot in front of the other? How do you learn to feel safe again? How do you find meaning in your life?

Dear Edward is at once a transcendent coming-of-age story, a multidimensional portrait of an unforgettable cast of characters, and a breathtaking illustration of all the ways a broken heart learns to love again.

NOTE: Please bring used books to share!
