Book Club

The Book Club will meet at the home of Vi Sullivan on October 22nd, instead of the 15th, please note the change.

Our book will be “Where the Crawdads Sing“ by Delia Owens.

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late

1969, when handsome Chase Andres is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl.

Please join us to find out what happens.
