Episode description
In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Andrea Bear on her book Grieving Daughters' Club.
A STORY ABOUT A BOOK CLUB, GRIEF, AND HOPE Two years after the death of her mother, forty-year-old Frankie Waters reluctantly joins a parish book club to prove to her family she is coming out of her grief-like state. While engaging with the eclectic women who drink wine and never finish their readings, she encounters Olivia, a young, single mother who has a secret that could be life altering. As the weekly book meetings progress, Frankie's desire to help Olivia and the other women start to lighten her pain. But good intentions aren't always enough. Could Frankie's intrusiveness push Olivia to make a horrible decision, or worse, cause Frankie to regret and return to her cocoon of grief?
