Moms Book Read & Discussion Night
2022-09-16 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Buck Family Home, 1280 Goodenough Road, Fillmore, CA
I have not had much time so slow down and free read lately. Maybe this is you too? However, a book was just recommended to me recently, Before We Were Yours, by Lisa Wingate. I was intrigued how my friend was moved by this book and the clincher for me to read at this time in my life of busyness, is that it was an easy read. Not necessarily the topic, but the writing style. The book is based on a true story.
From the authors website,
“Based on one of America’s most notorious real-life scandals—in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country.”
Here is a link to the author’s website that will give you some more details.

The book is readily available at libraries, Thrift Book, Amazon, etc.. I ordered my book from the Ventura County Public Library and at the time it looked as though there were many copies.
Read the book over the summer and plan for a meetup/book discussion with Alfresco Dining, potluck style, on the deck.
We will meet up on September 16, at my residence at 6:00pm. Please let me know if you would like to join us for a wonderful evening of fellowship and food. Contact me by email, canbucks@yahoo.com or phone, 805-796-3092 and I will start an email group with more information, for those, who are interested.
I look forward to seeing old and new faces.
