Book of the Month Club Reads The Future Homemakers of America in June
Pick up a copy of The Future Homemakers of America by Laurie Graham at the Circulation Desk and join the online discussion on Book Chatter. Discussion will begin in earnest toward the end of the month.From the Publisher...
Stationed at a U.S. Air Force base in Norfolk, England in 1952, a group of "Yankee wives" are thrown together by nothing more than husbands who patrol the skies keeping the Soviets at bay. They seem to have little in common; some, like Pie Crust Queen Betty Gillis, are content to clip coupons and bake chocolate brownies, while others, like good-time girl Lois Moon, look for a little excitement beyond the perimeter fence. But the women soon discover similarities, from a common fear for their husbands to a desire to help out the war-ravaged British natives. Through marriage and divorce, separations and reunions, the gang will try to hold fast to each other in a story that takes us to the heart of female friendship-and reveals the secret of the perfect Three Color Refrigerator Cake.
