BOVIA BOOK CLUB:  TUESDAY, APRIL 28th @ 6:00 p.m. (via Zoom – link will be emailed to interested parties). The book we are reading is “Wild” but has been republished under the name “Magic Hour” by Kristen Hannah.  A brief summary of the book is as follows:

In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest—nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.  
Dr. Julia Cates was one of the country’s preeminent child psychiatrists until a shocking tragedy ruined her career. Retreating to her small western Washington hometown, Julia meets an extraordinary six-year-old girl who has inexplicably emerged from the deep woods nearby—a child locked in a world of unimaginable fear and isolation. To Julia, nothing is more important than saving the girl she now calls Alice. But Julia will need help from others, including the sister she barely knows and a handsome doctor with secrets of his own. What follows will test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, as she struggles to find a home for Alice… and for herself.

Our Book Club has a wonderful group of people with different perspectives and insights. Our discussions are diverse and interesting, even if you haven’t read the book!  You are welcome to join us!  Please email Kat at katwellman54@gmail.com for more information and the zoom link.
