BOOK GROUP IS TONIGHT!

Our July Book Group is coming up. We are reading "The Seventeen Second Miracle" by Jason F. Wright. It is one of my favorite books. It will be at my house 640 Mustang Ct. TONIGHT! I'll also be leading the discussion. If you haven't read the book, please come anyway. You will definitely be able to join in on the discussion.


Here is a brief description of "The Seventeen Second Miracle"

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wednesday Letters and The Cross Gardener, a story of small kindnesses-and life- changing miracles.

Seventeen seconds can change a life forever. This is what Rex Connor learned on a gorgeous summer afternoon in 1970 when he diverted his gaze for seventeen seconds and tragedy occurred. Forty years later the waves of that day still ripple through the lives of countless people, including his son, Cole.

Cole Connor is a patient teacher, and now he has invited three struggling teenagers to visit him to learn about Rex Connor-and the Seventeen Second Miracle. Together they will learn how Rex Connor could have allowed seventeen seconds to destroy him, but instead he chose to live every day believing the smallest acts of kindness could change the world. Cole's students come to understand miracles can happen-but you must participate in them. A seventeen second miracle can change a life-if you let it

Enjoy your reading and let me know if you have any questions.
