Introducing our New ABTB Book Club Series!

Adventures by the Book is delighted to welcome 7 new ABTB Ambassadors, who are helping us launch our new ABTB Book Club Series. The monthly series will alternate between virtual Zoom events, in person San Diego, California events, and hybrid (in person AND virtual) Harrison, New York, events. Each month, our Ambassadors will select a new Adventures by the Book author and book to discuss, and we will send out invites for you to join us as you are able, whether in person or virtually.

We invite you to join us at our hybrid ABTB Book Club featuring acclaimed author Jennifer Coburn, in a moderated book club discussion with 2 of our esteemed Ambassadors, Giovanna Ionnace and Janis Daly, and YOU! 

This hybrid opportunity offers you two ways to participate: live and in person, or virtually. If you are in the Harrison, New York area, come join us live at the Harrison Public Library, 2 Bruce Avenue, Harrison, New York or, if you prefer or are unable to attend in person, come join us virtually via Zoom.

Whether you are already part of an existing book club, or have been wanting to join one, our ABTB Book Club is open to all. Read the book, which we encourage, or not, if you don’t have time, but come join us anyway and be part of the shared reading experience.

*Pre-order your copy of The Girls of the Glimmer Factory (below) and we will ship it to you, so that you can read it prior to the event and have Jennifer sign your copy at the event.

About the Author and Book

Jennifer Coburn is the USA Today bestselling author of Cradles of the Reich, a historical novel about three very different women living at a Nazi Lebensborn breeding home at the start of World War ll. She has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir, We’ll Always Have Paris, as well as six contemporary women’s novels. Additionally, Jennifer has contributed to five literary anthologies, including A Paris All Your Own.

In her new novel, Girls of the Glimmer Factory, Hannah longs for the days when she used to be free, but now, she is a Jewish prisoner at Theresienstadt, a model ghetto where the Nazis plan to make a propaganda film to convince the world that the Jewish people are living well in the camps. But Hannah will do anything to show the world the truth. Along with other young resistance members, they vow to disrupt the filming and derail the increasingly frequent deportations to death camps in the east.

Hilde is a true believer in the Nazi cause, working in the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda. Though they’re losing the war, Hilde hasn’t lost faith. She can’t stop the Allied bombings, but she can help the party create a documentary that will renew confidence in Hitler’s plans for Jewish containment.

When the filming of Hitler Gives a City to the Jews faces production problems due to resistance, Hilde finds herself in a position to finally make a name for herself. And when she recognizes Hannah, an old childhood friend, she knows she can use their friendship to get the film back on track.
