Opis

"An amiable, easygoing novel of friendship." Kirkus The Rosewood Book Club is the story of nine close friends who have been coming together once a month for more years than anyone can recall, sharing their own brand of southern charm consisting of plenty of laughter, good food, and an ample supply of love and sweet tea. They even discuss a book or two when time permits. Led by Jackie Bennett, retired middle school librarian, the group takes pride in their little club, which offers them a welcomed respite from life's ills and is usually just what the doctor ordered. However, it seems that some of the ills that plague a few of the close friends begin to create more than a few distractions and soon give cause for some real concern. Becka Ariel is certain there is something very shady about her new neighbors and their surly tenant and Mattie Anthony begins to worry about a retirement for which she feels unprepared. Lena Green shows signs of stress while doing her best to handle her crumbling marriage and Sandy Chapel becomes more and more distant as she tries to hide the all consuming guilt she is carrying around with her. When an elderly woman, who lived across from Lena Green is found dead, the victim of an apparent homicide, Andie Davis becomes increasingly concerned for the safety of her elderly mother and the group will soon discover the threat of danger is closer than they think. The Rosewood Book Club is the story of nine friends who know the meaning of unconditional friendship and will also discover the immense value of acceptance and forgiveness.
