Kepler's 2020 Project in the News:
This book is fun, real, sad, happy, insightful...it contains all the ingredients of an excellent recipe that when mixed together makes for a delicious novel. The Christmas Cookie Club is about the paths Marnie and her friends have traveled; the absolute joy they take in life, the decisions they've regretted, the hard choices and amends they've had to make, and their sacrifices. In other words, The Christmas Cookie Club is every woman's story. As you read about Marnie and her friends, their struggles and triumphs, what makes them laugh and what has made them cry, you'll see yourself and some of the ingredients of your own story. Although a novel, the basis of the story is real, as are some of the life stories. In celebrating courage and joy in spite of hard times, and honoring the importance of women's friendships as well as the embracing bonds of community, Ann Pearlman has written a novel that speaks to us all.
