The BookEnd BookClub meets every 3rd Thursday of the month. You are invited to read along and join them in the discussion. We will be meeting in the Fellowship Hall to maintain social distancing.

Our selection for this month is: One True Thing by Ann Quindlen. Ellen Gulden is enjoying her career as a successful magazine writer in New York City when she learns that her mother, Kate, is dying from cancer. Ellen’s father insists she quit her job and return home to become a caregiver. A high-powered career woman, Ellen has never felt she had much in common with her mother, a homemaker and the heart of their family. Yet as Ellen begins to spend time with Kate, she discovers many surprising truths, not only about herself, but also about the woman she thought she know so well. Later, when Ellen is accused of the mercy killing of her mother, she must not only defend he own life but make a difficult choice—either accept responsibility for an act she did not commit or divulge the name of the person she believes committed a painful act of love.
