Book Clubs

Book clubs are a cherished and vital component of the literary process. Reading books evoke feelings, new insights, and expand outlooks. Sharing that with others only helps to enrich the entire group’s reading experience.

I’ve put together a list of starter questions I hope will help your book club explore and expand your reading journey of There Are No Answers Here, Only Questions. I am also available to speak to your group via Zoom, or in person in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Contact me for details.
