These books have been celebrated for their authentic\, deeply researched\, lyrical stories about Chinese characters and cultures. \nNow\, in The Island of Sea Women\, Lisa writes about about the free-diving women of South Korea’s Jeju Island. Booklist called The Island of Sea Women “stupendous… enthralling…and engrossing.” Jodi Picoult has given her praise: “Lisa See excels at mining the intersection of family\, friendship and history\, and in her newest novel\, she reaches new depths exploring the matrifocal haenyeo society in Korea\, caught between tradition and modernization.” \n\n  \n\nBingo Keynote Speaker: Patti Callahan Henry\nPatti Callahan Henry is a New York Times bestselling author of fifteen novels\, including the historical fiction\, Becoming Mrs. Lewis – The Improbable Love Story of Joy Davidman and C.S. She is also the host of the upcoming seven-part original “Behind the Scenes of Becoming Mrs. Lewis Podcast Series” launched on October 1\, 2019.     \nPatti’s books include Losing the Moon\, Between the Tides; Where the River Runs; When Light Breaks; Between the Tides; The Art of Keeping Secrets; Driftwood Summer; The Perfect Love Song: A Holiday Story; Coming Up for Air; And Then I Found You; The Stories We Tell; The Idea of Love\, The Bookshop at Water’s End\, Becoming Mrs. Lewis and The Favorite Daughter. \nGrowing up in Philadelphia as the daughter of a Presbyterian minister\, Patti learned early the value of storytelling.

Once a Pediatric Clinical Nurse Specialist\, she now writes full time. The mother of three children\, she now lives in both Mountain Brook\, Alabama and Bluffton\, South Carolina with her husband. \n  \nFeatured Authors\n\n Kelly Bargabos believes that her heart has always directed her to tell the story of her brother Bobby\, so that people could see what life is truly like for someone like him. In a culture that has historically valued strength over weakness\, intellect over character\, and accomplishment over a simpler life\, a segment of our population is systemically and repeatedly marginalized—unseen and unheard. \nWhen someone has physical disabilities that are invisible and intellectual limitations that aren’t always obvious\, life is challenging in ways that most of us don’t understand. Chasing the Merry-Go-Round is about what life is like in a world where you can’t keep up. \nAvailable for book club visits here. \n  \n\nKim Taylor Blakemore writes women’s historical fiction. She writes about the thieves and servants\, murderesses and soiled doves\, grifters and dancehall girls. The fierce women.

Only Lucy knows the truth.In the shadow of the gallows\, Lucy reflects on the events that led to her bitter downfall—from the moment she arrived at the rambling Burton mansion looking for work and a better life to the grisly murders themselves. \nAvailable for book club visits here. \n  \n  \n\n\nDolley Carlson is a third-generation Irish American with South Boston “Southie” roots. She is the daughter of one of Boston’s finest (Boston Police Department)\, and is passionate about weaving the people\, locale\, and lore of the city into her first novel\, The Red Coat. \n“An inspiring tale of Irish immigrants…and honors the sacrifices of all the immigrants who have made and continue to make this country great.” – Robert F. Kennedy\, Jr.\, New York Times bestselling author \nAvailable for book club visits here. \n  \n\n  \n\nJill Hall is the author of The Black Velvet Coat\, a #1 Amazon Bestseller and an International Book Award Finalist for Best New Fiction. The Silver Shoes\, her next dual timeline historical novel was a Distinguished Favorite in the NYC Big Book Awards. Her poems have appeared in a variety of publications including A Year in Ink\, The Avocet\, and Wild Women\, Wild Voices. \nIn The Silver Shoes\, a San Francisco artist has been distracted by a cross-country romance with sexy Sergio and has veered from her creative path. While visiting him in New York\, Anne buys a pair of rhinestone shoes in an antique shop that spark her imagination and lead her on a quest to learn more about the shoes’ original owner. \nAvailable for book club visits here. \n  \n Marco Rafalà is a first-generation Sicilian American novelist\, musician\, and writer for award-winning tabletop role-playing games. He earned his MFA in Fiction from The New School and is a co-curator of the Guerrilla Lit Reading Series in New York City. \nHis debut novel\, How Fires End\, was inspired by a dark secret born out of World War II that lies at the heart of a Sicilian American family in this emotional and sweeping saga of guilt\, revenge\, and\, ultimately\, redemption. \nAvailable for book club visits here. \n  \n  \nOna Russell is a credentialed mediator and holds a PhD in literature from the University of California\, San Diego\, where she also taught for many years.
