The Saturday Evening Girls Club by Jane Healey

Once Upon a Book Club - July 2017 Selection

A light, enjoyable read about a group of four girlfriends.  The kind of lasting friendship many girls dream about, but the kind of friendships that rarely occur.

Based on the true history of Boston North End's Saturday Evening Girls Club started in 1899.  I do love that women have always empowered each other.  While its been a man's world for a long time, women can continue making progress when and only when we empower one another.  That also is when true friendship is born; friends celebrating the joys and successes of another, consoling and empathizing the sorrows and being willing to speak out when they fear the path their friend is on may be dangerous, even if speaking out may risk the friendship.

Would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a heartwarming story.

The gifts provided by the subscription service were unique to the story and presumably handmade.  Really a lot of fun!!
