In July I had the good fortune to visit Westwinds Bookshop in Duxbury, MA., where members of a mom-daughter group attended my signing. I didn't give my usual book-group talk because there were other girls there who hadn't read the book and I didn't want to spoil it for them. But we were still able to talk about the book and writing in general. Something magical often happens with these mom-daughter groups. Maybe it's that the girls and moms often "see" different things in the books, and it's fun to talk about this. Or that the girls are excited to meet a real author. Or that our talk is part academic (for example, what themes did you find in the text?) and part fun. Whatever it is, I love it.

So, here's the deal. If you live in the Boston area and are hosting a book group and want to read one of my books, I will come to the meeting and facilitate a talk about it. Just shoot me an e-mail!
