Virtual Summer Book Club

We invite you to join Greater Detroit ΦBK members for a thoughtful discussion of The Women by Kristin Hannah. A story of one women gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm's way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism. The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine who idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era. (Macmillan Publishers)​
